Herbal preparations for uterine fibroids
Cochrane Reviews, 04/29/09

Liu JP et al. - Herbal preparations are commonly used alternatives for drug treatment, surgery, or both. This systematic review included two randomised clinical trials involving 150 women with uterine fibroids. Compared with medication, two herbal preparations may have similar beneficial effect on the shrinkage of uterine fibroids or uterus. However, these clinical trials are small in terms of the number of participants and the trial quality varied. The effect of herbal preparations for uterine fibroids therefore needs to be studied in further large, good quality trials.
