There have, in very recent years, been a flood of breast enhancement and breast enlargement supplements put on
market. All of them make same claims of being an effective and safe alternative to breast augmentation surgery. For many women, small or unattractively shaped and sized breasts are a major source of genuine insecurity and emotional distress. As trivial as this may sound to some, a women's perception of her breasts can have a real impact on her self esteem. With increasing popularity and prevalence of cosmetic surgery, and especially breast implant surgery, we see increasing numbers of women who seem paradoxically blessed with size 2 waists, and buxom bosoms. It's easy to say you should be happy with what you were born with, but fact is you can't change how you feel about certain things, and if your breasts are a source of negative body image or low self esteem, you've probably looked into ways to change your bustline, maybe even considered cosmetic surgery to achieve your desired results.
If you've done your homework, you've probably noticed there are now several breast enhancement supplements on market. These products really can be effective when used correctly and over a period of several months, as long as product chosen is of a concentrated potency and high quality. We are going to examine common ingredients found in all of these natural breast augmentation supplements and what their effects have been when used in traditional herbal and naturopathic medicine. Most of common herbs and compounds discussed here started to gain attention with publication of "The Green Pharmacy" in which Dr. James Duke discussed their hormone-balancing properties.
One of primary ingredients is Saw Palmetto, prescribed by naturopathic doctors as a means to increase breast size, a hormonal regulator, sexual stimulation, urinary tract infections, and weight regulation. Second, we find Damiana, traditionally used for treating depression, anxiety and nervousness. It has been widely held to promote a sense of well being and is a traditional herbal prescription for hormone imbalances, poor mammary gland (breast tissue) development, decreased sex drive, menopause, infertility and PMS.
Dong Quai is another herb found in these supplements which is primarily used to treat an array of female problems related to hormonal imbalances and lack of estrogen production. Blessed Thistle, another common ingredient, has an extensive history of use as a restorative herb that supports female reproductive organs. Also, because it is considered to be an excellent heart tonic and blood purifier, it allows others herbs to absorb and work more effectively.
Wild Yam is most widely used herbal remedy for female health. Wild Yam contains diosgenin, a producer of progesterone (a female hormone), which makes it popular for treating PMS. It is widely used as a female breast enhancer and a sexual stimulant. Fenugreek, a product of American folk medicine, was considered a very effective menstruation promoter. Modern scientists have confirmed that Fenugreek contains chemicals diosgenin and isoflavones, very similar to female sex hormone estrogen. It's properties mimic effect of estrogen in female body. This herb provides a mastogenic effect resulting in swelling and growth of healthy breast tissue.
