I'd like this post to be available to any woman who may have cervical spots, called Leukoplakia, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, or similar problems. Thus I'll put all the search words I can... herbal remedies, help for cervical cancer, herbs, medical alternatives, alternative treatments for cancer... well those are all I can think of right now.
Please note I'm neither a doctor nor a certified herbalist. I'm just a person with no health insurance who's found herbs can solve many, many problems with no annoying and expensive visits to the doctor. Feel free to PM me for information on other herbs I've used. I'll be happy to try and help, but I'm very sorry, I can't be held liable for any negative results.
The specific herb for uterine cancer is Nymphaea Odorata, called White Pond Lily or White Pond Lotus. This grows in great profusion in my own pond (and throughout Florida). It grows throughout the Southeast US in ponds. The water must be at least 4 ft deep for it to grow, and the water must be stagnant, or very calm. Nymphaea is also used in water gardens. The flowers are beautiful and fragrant, white with yellow stamens. The leaves (very useful fresh for cuts & bruises) are typical, roundish Lotus shapes.
Here's how it's supposed to be used. Personally I had to use our little rowboat to get to it. The part used is the fresh root. You find a bunch of them with an open flower so you know the species... although no Lotus is poisonous, this one is supposed to be most effective. (BTW, Yellow Pond Lily is much more common and the roots are used just the same). The root must be used fresh. This means I gotta take our rowboat out every day, which is quite pleasant in itself.
Grab yourself a few stems, apologize to the plant and explain why you need it, and pull, hard. This is best done in the fall when the water is lowest, but it can be used any time of the year. You should pull up a rather large, ugly root with many sprouts coming from it. The root is spongy and light.
Clean the root (I cut off all the outer layers just to be sure), cut it up, and mash it as best you can. It's quite soft, so you can use a potato masher or just your (freshly washed) hands to squish it up. Put it in clean water and simmer it, covered, for 15-20 minutes.
It's best to allow it to cool covered. Just take it off the burner and let it sit for about an hour. While it's cooling (just after it's finished boiling), you may want to add a few bags of Chamomile or Spearmint or Peppermint tea. The taste isn't terrible in itself, not bitter at all, but it tastes like a pond. I added both Chamomile & Spearmint teas, and found it perfectly palatable. A bit of honey helps too, but don't add honey if you plan to use it as a douche.
When cool enough, strain it, through a coffee filter, colander, or screen strain, whatever you have. It doesn't have to be perfectly strained, and old herbals suggest you leave the crushed matter in it.
You can drink freely of this tea, I'd suggest at least a cup a day. In large doses it will act as a laxative, but that's the only negative result.
Since I didn't have a douche bag, I checked at Walgreen's and found they cost, no matter what the type, $12. I thought that was a bit pricey, so I bought 2 of Walgreen's brand disposable douches for $1.49. I enjoyed the picture of the woman on the front with a halo about her head ("I'm so clean and happy, I've just douched!") This particular douche was Vinegar and Water, a good choice if you don't plan to use it since neither of these substances are harmful.
I removed the tip of the bottle as instructed, and disposed of the contents in the sink. After several rinses, I used the bottle to "suck up" my tea remedy. It takes a bit of manipulation, but the basic idea is to get all of the air out of the bottle, then put it in the tea and sort of expand it to suck up the tea. I could get the bottle 1/2 - 3/4ths full using this method.
I'd suggest a douche be infrequent, maybe once a week, but more if your case is advanced. Any douche is disturbing to your system. It's much better to use the tea warm, not hot. Be sure to use it slowly, that is, let the bottle drain slowly, no rush.
Note: the tea is staining. It makes a sort of purplish-black color. You may want to use rubber gloves for this reason, but you can easily rub lemon juice on your hands afterwards (which is what I did) to remove the stains.
Again, you may drink the tea daily.
For women in India and other countries where uterine/cervical cancer is common, due to lack of medical care, I have read that all species of Lotus can be used identically to good result. I'd suggest, however, that unhealthy-looking plants in water that smells very bad NOT be used. From what I've read, the vast majority of deaths from cervical or uterine cancer are in poor countries where medical help is simply not available. This method is at least worth a try.
Other species of Lotus are: Nuphar advena, called Yellow Pond Lily or Spatterdock; Nuphar polysepalum, called Cow Lily in the US West; Nelumbo lutea, called American Lotus or Lotus Lily; Nymphaea alba or Nymphaea ampla (White Water Lily, in Europe); and Nymphaea Caerula, the Egyptian Sacred Blue Lotus. From what I have read, all parts of all Lotus plants are edible.
I hope very much that this information may be useful to all women who lack access to expensive medical care, or who would like to supplement standard medical care.
