I have seen chasteberry suggested for fibroids numerous times. Just do a seach on "fibroids and chasteberry" in any search engine and you will see lots of information about this. Here is one:
Vitex or chasteberry tincture, 25-30 drops two to four times daily, often shrinks small fibroids within two months. But results come from long-term use - up to two years. http://www.fwhc.org/health/fibroids-help.htm
I have not used chasteberry, but I have been doing a lot of research on it because I have been considering it. One word of warning, however....it can cause increased bleeding, especially the first few months. If you have excessive bleeding due to your fibroids (as I did before my uterine artery embolization), you may want to take that into consideration.
