I just came across a video from a lady who says she used the herb red clover to shrink her fibroids naturally in 3 months time. She was a lovely lady, but the information for how she managed to shrink her fibroids using red clover does not appear to be available for free and unfortunately, although she is only charging a small amount for the book within which she tells how she did it, I cannot afford to buy her book. So I am now trying to read up on red clover.
Apparently red clover contains isoflavones, which are estrogen-like compounds. I’ve come across articles in the past that talk about isoflavones in connection with shrinking fibroids. Apparently the isoflavones in red clover have been used to treat menopausal symptoms and to help balance the acid-alkaline level of the vagina. Acid and alkaline are two words I’ve come across a number of times in my research trying to find natural ways to shrink fibroids, but I’ve never really understood their importance well enough to attempt to explain the role of either in fibroid growth or fibroid shrinkage.
I don’t personally know how to use red clover for fibroids, if there is a special formula or what. If you happen to know more about this and feel like you want to help those of us ladies who are looking for help shrinking our fibroids but can’t afford to buy books that tell us how to do it, feel free to share in the comments section.
In the meantime, I’ll see if I can manage to get my hands on the below product and put red clover to the test while not knowing if there’s a special way it has to be prepared or what.

I did come across some material in which it was suggested that red clover should be avoided if you have uterine fibroids;but as you might suspect, I have also come across material that suggests red clover works for shrinking fibroids. I don’t figure my fibroids can possibly grow much bigger so what’s the risk if I try it?
Here are some articles you might find useful in deciding whether or not to try red clover yourself:

Oddly, I’ve read the exact opposite,that red clover is bad for fibroids and so I’ve avoided it. I’ve read that vitex is incredible for shrinking fibroids.
dr3amcandy I’ve also read that it’s bad for fibroids but in other material I’ve read the opposite so I figured if it won’t kill me I’ll take the risk. But the result for me has been that it has not done anything to help and might possible have hurt a little bit. Thank you for sharing your comment.
I just googled “red clover” and checked out what it said about it on WebMD. Considering it states that red clover mimics estrogen it would not be a good choice for those with fibroids. Anyone with fibroids knows that their body is producing too much estrogen and it is “feeding” the tumors. I have buried my head in the sand too long about my fibroids( been focusing on others and not myself) but I am determined to shrink mine.The one in my stomach(well, at the very top of my uterus) is quite large,just nauseating. I am researching everything about fibroids like a mad dog. If anyone wants to talk about this, if they are dealing with the same thing,please email at serenitygirl11@yahoo.com. Information is knowledge. I do not want meds or surgery. I have a game plan in mind but any chatting would be nice,possibly helpful. First thing, sadly is to give up coffee and tea and the occasional soda. Good Luck everyone!!! My next blood test is August 13- fingers crossed my iron level has gone up.
