Q Won't the herbal medicine used for uterine fibroids irritate the uterus? I'm worried about whether it's safe.
A The herbal medicine used for uterine fibroids centers on formulas that resolve blood stasis and warm the uterus. Since it is prescribed after examining your symptoms and constitution, it can be carried out safely without irritating the uterus.
Detailed Answer

Because it is prescribed after carefully examining your constitution and current condition, it is managed so as not to overly irritate the uterus or worsen the fibroid. If any discomfort arises during use, let us know right away and we will adjust the prescription.
