Botanicals and Phytotherapy for Fibrocystic Breast Disease

Phytotherapy is the oldest method known in our history to treat disorders; I have always had a lot of respect for Mother Nature's infinite wisdom in providing us with the tools to help us heal the sick.

Botanical hormonal normalizers help the body regularize swings and hormone imbalances, enabling a move towards complete removal of the problem. Although no true specifics are known for fibrocystic breast condition, Agnus castus (vitex) is strongly indicated since it aids in the natural production of one's own progesterone. Evening primrose oil may also be of great value.

We have used the following formula at our clinic for the past few years and have found it to be very beneficial for fibroadenoma:

Echinacea angustifolia 1:2 30 mg
Scutelaria lateriflora 1:2 30 mg
Paeonia lactiflora 1:2 25 mg
Thuja occidentalis 1:5 15 mg
Total 100 mg, to be taken at 5 mg three times per day for 3 months.

When addressing the problem of fibrocystic conditions, several components must be addressed simultaneously to provide effective treatment. For example:

Lymphatics—to promote drainage and vitality of lymph tissue
Diuretics—to alleviate water retention
Anti-spasmodics—provides help with dragging pains
Nerve relaxants—for problems associated with PMS
