Question Fibroids & Chasteberry

Does anyone know if you can take chasteberry when you have fibroids? I was just diagnosed by my family doctor with fibroids and I my Naturopath is on holidays. I am assuming it is ok but I am just wondering if anyone knows.

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.

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.
