I was reading through the Women's Encyclopaedia of Natural Medicine, (T Hudson, ND) and the author suggested the following protocol for shrinking fibroids. It is a protocol used by herbalist Rick Scalzo.
The author also suggests that there are other herbs which can deal with excessive bleeding and cramping. This protocol however is for shrinkage.
I'd be interested if anybody has used this.
