When I asked my acupuncturist what herbal teas I could drink, he suggested red raspberry leaf, which tones and strengthens the uterus. I've been drinking a bit off an on since (since I drink the herbs he gave me three times a day in a mug of hot water along with the blackstrap molasses, I don't have appetite for that much more liquid!).
I was going to post it here, but when I went to find information about it I ran across this post and several like it, which say that red raspberry leaf can be estrogenic so it's not recommended for those with fibroids.
Just more proof that even with a fabulous doctor, they might not know everything, and it's important to do your own research!

How fascinating, thanks for sharing this. I had never heard of catechins as being helpful for fibroids. I peeked on the web though and found this study which showed efficacy in Japanese quail (which have fibroids similar to humans and thus are often used for tests) Why doesn't someone do more studies like this in humans?

P.S. There is also evidence that green tea may help fertility http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/greentea.html
Too much might not be good though...
