Fibroids are growths that affect the breasts or uterus in women between the ages of 35 and 49. Excessive estrogen or an under active thyroid are the main causes of fibroids in women. Rather than resorting to surgery to reverse this condition, Dr. Linda Rector Page, who works in the field of nutrition and herbal medicine, recommends natural therapy. Symptoms of fibroids include painful and swollen breasts or excessive bleeding from the uterus. Consuming too much fat, caffeine, chocolate, sodas, sugar, improper diet, stress, obesity and birth control pills have been linked with fibroids.
Alternate using different fruits and vegetables to obtain the maximum benefits of juicing. The goal of juicing is to both detoxify and cleanse the system while boosting the immune system, and regenerating the organs.

Watercress, spinach, dandelion, Parsley, Alfalfa Sprouts, green pepper. Add Wheat grass, spirullina, chlorella, celery, lemon and lime to green drink combination.
Add broccoli, carrots, and cabbage to green drinks as they are rich in flavonoids which are known to reduce the risk of fibroids. Blend Aloe Vera and wheat grass juice for detoxification
