My Journey to Healing from Fibroids

I was just 20 years old when I was diagnosed with fibroids. Before my diagnosis, I experienced prolonged periods that lasted almost two weeks, and my stomach often felt bloated. Concerned, I went for my first scan, which revealed a 2mm fibroid located outside my uterus. The doctor assured me that there was nothing to worry about, so I didn’t think much of it.

As the years passed, I started noticing other symptoms. I experienced spotting after my periods and developed severe pica. I constantly craved crunching ice cubes and felt pain during intercourse. Worried, I went for another scan, and this time, my fibroid had grown to 2cm. Again, the gynecologist told me there was no cause for concern and that I could still conceive naturally.

I asked if I could have the fibroid removed, but the gynecologist advised against it, saying that surgery could cause the fibroids to return in greater numbers—like a tree growing more branches. I left the appointment feeling helpless and frustrated, but I tried to push it back in my mind.

Years later, when I started trying for a baby, I struggled to conceive. I went for another scan, and this time, the results shattered me. My fibroid had grown to 9cm and was now inside my womb. I broke down in tears, overwhelmed with emotions. I felt like my body had betrayed me. I even considered leaving my partner, thinking it would be selfish of me to stay when I couldn’t give him a family.

Living with a 9cm fibroid consumed my life. I had to be mindful of what I ate, I constantly felt exhausted, my mood swings were unbearable, and I suffered from sharp, random pains. Intercourse became uncomfortable, my periods were excruciating, and my stomach remained bloated. I had had enough.

Then I remembered something I had always loved mixing herbs, and deep down, I believed I could create something to help shrink my fibroids. My grandmother, knowledgeable in herbal remedies, introduced me to different healing herbs. I started taking them, and within a week, I noticed a change the sharp pains disappeared. Two weeks later, my pica vanished; I no longer craved ice cubes. Soon after, I realized that intercourse was no longer painful.

After two months, I went for another scan, and to my amazement, my fibroid had shrunk to 6cm and was once again located outside my uterus. Encouraged by my progress, I adopted a strict diet and exercise routine to speed up the healing process. Two months later, my fibroid had shrunk to 4cm.

After three more months, I went for another scan, and this time, the results changed my life when my fibroid was completely gone.

Eventually, I conceived naturally, proving that my body had the power to heal.

This journey led me to create herbal solutions for women facing similar struggles. I know the pain, frustration, and hopelessness that fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility can bring. That’s why I am passionate about helping women take back control of their bodies naturally.

My story begins in the vibrant, lush landscapes of East Africa, where our founder, Dr. Afia, grew up. From a young age, she was captivated by the seemingly magical healing properties of the local flora. She watched her grandmother prepare traditional herbal remedies with a precision and reverence that stuck with her. As she grew older, her fascination turned into a deep-rooted passion.

Dr. Afia pursued studies in botany and medicinal plants, leading her to establish Restorative Medicament. She dreamt of harnessing the power of her homeland’s herbs and sharing their medicinal benefits with the world, especially for those dealing with conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, menstrual pain, infertility, and fibroids.
