A member asked:

Would turmeric shrink uterine fibroids?i'm anemic due to fibroids,does turmeric thins blood? can i take iron & turmeric at the same time or different.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Turmeric: I wouldn't trust turmeric to shrink your fibroids- although the herb is reputed to be anti inflammatory. There are animal studies that show an effect. I think it's better to see a gyn or talk with your primary doc to manage. There shouldn't be any interaction with iron pills. Why not try to get some of that iron through the diet? - dark green veggies, raisins, prunes, dark chocolate etc..take care
