“…The size, volume, and proliferative activity of UF were significantly reduced when patients took 1.2 g of curcumin orally every day for 6 months, with no adverse effects observed ( Sukonthanonta, 2015 ). Ali and Laila ( Ali and Ali, 2013 ) reported a decrease in uterine and myoma volume followed by the significant increase in hemoglobin percentage in patients taking 1.35 g of curcumin daily for 3 months was consistent with the previous study with no side effects being reported. However, the interpretation of results from both of the studies was restricted due to a lack of information on control groups.…”

“…Among the botanical drugs and polyherbal formulations reviewed, only Curcuma longa ( Ali and Ali, 2013 ; Sukonthanonta, 2015 ) , Camellia sinensis ( Roshdy et al, 2013 ), and GZFLW ( Chen et al, 2014 ) have been investigated in clinical trials on their effect against UF. Among these, the clinical studies against Curcuma longa were limited without the presence of a negative control group, while a systematic review of randomized clinical trials conducted on GZFLW revealed that the trials have a high risk of bias, with no description of the allocation concealment of the participants.…”

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are a common benign gynecological tumor that affect the majority of women over their lifetime. Several pharmacological agents are available to reduce the size of fibroids and ameliorate the symptoms of UF. However, these drugs are expensive and are usually associated with profound side effects. Thus, botanical drugs are gaining attention in this era due to their cost effectiveness with a comparable and more potent therapeutic efficacy while demonstrating lesser adverse effects. The objective of this review is to summarize the available information on the mechanism of various botanical drugs and polyherbal formulations with anti-uterine fibroid activity. A systematic search was performed on botanical drugs with anti-uterine fibroid activity using several search engines, which include PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Based on the literatures identified, a total of five botanical drugs and three polyherbal formulations were included and discussed in this review, which yields useful information regarding the mechanism of different botanical drugs and polyherbal formulations in exerting anti-uterine fibroid activity for its potential use as an alternative treatment choice for uterine fibroids.
