Fenugreek
Fenugreek has
an age old reputation as a herbal breast enlarger and contains
diosgenin which is used to make synthetic estrogen and has been
shown to promote the growthof breast cells. Another potential
area for fenugreek is cutting into the plastic surgery business.
For centuries rumors have floated out of the Middle East that
harem women were fed fenugreek seed to make them more buxom. This
turns out to be more than mere hearsay which is why we use Fenugreek
in our herbal breast enhancement formula.
In
India, the herb was incorporated into curry blends. India's traditional
Ayurvedic physicians prescribed it to nursing mothers to increase
their milk. In American folk medicine, fenugreek was considered
a potent menstruation promoter. It became a key ingredient in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound -- one of 19th-century America's
most popular patent medicines for "female weakness" (menstrual
discomforts).
.Fenugreek
also contains choline which may aid the thinking process, and
antioxidants that slow aging and help prevent disease. It is also
helpful in calming PMS and symptoms of menopause. Fenugreek is
also considered to be an aphrodisiac and rejuvenator
Wild yam
(Dioscorea
villosa )
Wild yam (Dioscorea
villosa ) plants are found across the midwestern and eastern United
States, Latin America (especially Mexico), and Asia. Several different
species exist. All of which possess similar constituents and properties.
The root is used medicinally.
Yam
is probably the most widely used herbal tonic for women's health.
It is widely used for herbal breast enhancement and a sexual stimulant
and is recommended by herbalist Susan Weed author of "Breast Cancer?
Breast Health!" for healthy breast tissue. Wild Yam has long been
used for it's benefits in women's reproductive health, including
premenstrual syndrome and menopausal problems.
Estrogenic
effect: Diosgenin has been found to have an estrogenic effect
on mouse mammary epithelium. Ovariectomized mice that received
diosgenin (sc) at dosage levels between 20 and 40 mg/kg for 15
days had significant increases in mammary development scores.
When administered estrogen and disogenin, an augmentation of the
estrogenic effect was recorded (Aradhana et al,1992).
Eventually,
it was discovered that the saponins from wild yam could be converted
industrially into cortisone, estrogens, and progesterone-like
compounds. Wild yam and other plants with similar constituents
continue to be a source for these drugs.
Dong
quai (Angelica
sinensis )
Dong Quai
is a member of the celery family. Greenish-white flowers bloom
from May to August, and the plant is typically found growing in
damp mountain ravines, meadows, river banks, and coastal areas.
The root is used in herbal medicine. .
This relaxing
herb, known as the female ginseng, contains phytoestrogens that
can help reduce dramatic mood swings and give a general ‘lift’.
Dong Quai
is also known as Chinese Angelica and is primarily known for its
uses in treating women's problems including lack of sexual desire,
the symptoms of menopause, cramps and PMS.It
is a fertility herb, so women who are still menstruating should
take care!
Saw
palmetto
Saw
palmetto
is now a popular and effective treatment for prostate enlargement
in men but has it's origins in natural medicine as a herbal breast
enlarger and is still recommended today by naturopathic physicians
for increasing breast size.Saw Palmetto is a anti-androgen which
alows estrogen to be more influential on the body.
It is also
used as an aphrodesiac, for the treatment of impotence in men,
and for inhibited sexual desire in women. Native Americans, dating
back to pre-Mayan civilizations, used the berries for food and
medicine and particularly for breast disorders in women. Early
American botanists noted that animals who were fed with these
berries grew sleek and robust, experienced restored sexual vigor
and improved muscle tone. Saw palmetto berry also tones the urethra,
and it may be used to uphold the healthy function of the thyroid
gland and urinary system. This remarkable herb has no side effects
or drug interactions. It's herbal breast enhancement effects stem
from phyto-nutrients that stimulate breast tissue, increasing
health and size.
Fennel
Seed(Foeniculum
vulgare )
has been used
for centuries to enhance breast size and to promote milk production
in new mothers. The herb's history is similar to the story of
fenugreek above. It is second only to 
Fenugreek
in estrogenic compounds and can be used in tea or added to lotion
and massged directly into the breasts. Fennel is also used to
treat amenorrhea, angina, asthma, heartburn, high blood pressure
and to increase sexual desire in women. It is rich in the phyto-nutrients
that increase breast size is treated as a good herb for herbal
breast enhancement.
Damiana
(Turnera
diffusa )
Most research
has been done on the volatile oil of damiana, which .
includes
numerous small, fragrant substances called terpenes.As yet, it
is unclear if the volatile oil is truly the main active constituent
of damiana. Damiana extracts have been shown, in a test tube,
to weakly bind to progesterone receptors. Thus, damiana may be
a potentially useful herb for some female health problems.
Damiana is
well known in southwestern cultures as a sexuality tonic, and
is recommended by many top herbalists. It stimulates the intestinal
tract and brings oxygen to the genital area. It also increases
energy levels, which does a lot to restore libido and desire.
In women Damiana often restores the ability to achieve orgasm.
Long-term use can improve sexual fitness and performance. Damiana
is used primarily as an energy tonic and an aphrodisiac for both
men and women.
Motherwort
(Leonurus cardiaca )
The
use of motherwort is practically
the same in European folk medicine and traditional Chinese herbal
medicine. It was widely used to regulate menses and to treat associated
conditions.
The
identities of the active constituents of motherwort are not entirely
clear, though they likely include compounds in its volatile oil
and the alkaloids. Little research has been done on motherwort
in the West. Animal research performed in China suggests that
motherwort alkaloids can calm the central nervous system and stimulate
the uterus to contract.A report suggests that preliminary human
trials have found that Chinese motherwort stimulates uterine contraction
after delivery and may alleviate glomerulonephritis (kidney disease
secondary to infection).
Black
Cohosh
Black
cohosh, another breast
enlargement herb,contains several ingredients, including triterpene
glycosides (e.g., acetin and 27-deoxyactein) and isoflavones (e.g.,
formononetin). Other constituents include aromatic acids, tannins,
resins, fatty acids, starches, and sugars. As a woman approaches
menopause, the signals between the ovaries and pituitary gland
diminish, slowing down estrogen production and increasing luteinizing
hormone (LH) secretions. Hot flashes can result from these hormonal
changes. Animal studies and a human clinical trial suggested that
black 
cohosh
had some estrogen activity in the body and also decreased LH secretions.
It reduces
the serum concentration of pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH),
which is associated with negative physical and psychic effects
of premenstrual syndrome and menopause, such as depression, hot
flashes, uterine spasms, and dysmenorrhea. Numerous clinical studies
indicate that the herb suppresses the increase in LH and may offer
an effective, slower-acting alternative to estrogen therapy.Widely
used as a breast enhancement herb.
Agnus
castus
Agnus
castus or
chaste tree berry Agnus castus has become well-known as a hormonal
regulator for women.in some European countries, is probably the
most popular herbal approach to PMS. In two surveys of gynecological
practices in Germany, physicians graded chaste berry extract as
good or very good in the treatment of PMS.
Helps
in cases of corpus luteum insufficiency or prolactin excess. As
a result of its effects on gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
and follicle stimulating hormone-releasing hormone (FSHRH), it
has the ability to normalize the secretion of prolactin and reduce
estrogen to progesterone levels.
It is
extremely helpful in a wide range of pre-menstrual problems such
as spots, irritability, breast tenderness, premenstrual migraine
and bloating. It can also help to regulate a woman's menstrual
cycle, improve fertility, lengthen out a short cycle and even
restore menstruation in a woman who has stopped her periods (although
the underlying cause of this should always be investigated). For
women entering the menopause, it can help to even out mood swings
and improve hot flushes. Men can use agnus castus too for acne.
