The existence of female Breast Enlargement Herbs has been a part of natural medicine on every continent for centuries. The herbs that even ancient healers knew would enhance and even enlarge breasts are now called 'phytoestrogens' by the scientific world. Phytoestrogens are substances in plants that have a similar effect on the body to estrogen. Because estrogen is the hormone that produces breast growth in the body, fooling the body into thinking it has more estrogen causes breasts to enlarge with new healthy breast tissue.

Although these female breast herbs take time for results to show, they can, if used correctly, cause breasts to grow over the course of a month or so. Some products that use these herbs claim that their product can cause breast growth of up to two sizes, and they also advertise that the new growth is permanent.

You can always turn to the expensive and sometimes dangerous plastic surgery implant route, but the Female Breast enlargement herbs that have been used for centuries can make a big difference in the bust line without the lifelong risk of implant problems or the risks of surgery themselves, which can be substantial. Most companies will tell you that these herbs don't work for everyone, but they do work for most people. And the best companies will offer you a money back guarantee, so you can try the Female Breast Enlargement herbs at no risk. Now, if you just go to the herbal grocer in your area, they're probably not going to offer you a money back guarantee. But the companies that are charging $60 or more for their products should.

The female Breast Enlargement herbs that have been found to be most useful are: saw palmetto, Don Quai, wild yam, dandelion root, blessed thistle, kava, and the herb from Thailand called Pueraria Mirifica, and fenugreek. Fenugreek is an interesting herb that was used for centuries by harem girls in the Middle East to produce more healthy breast tissue, thus enlarging their breasts. Taken internally, this is one of the best breast herbs.

Saw palmetto, too, has been used for centuries in North and South America. Native to the continent of America, it is now often recommended by naturopathic physicians to naturally enlarge breasts. Wild yam is another of the best female breast enlargement herbs, and it has been recommended by some not only for breast enhancement but for breast health as well. It can be used in conjunction with fenugreek for a more dramatic effect than either herb alone.

Of the other female breast enlargement herbs, Pueraria Mirifica is a very interesting and more recent addition to Western herbal health, although it has been known in Thailand for centuries. Also known in Thailand as Kwao Krua, it has only recently become commercially available in the West, since it took a while for the Thailand government to share its ancient remedy with the rest of us. Pueraria Mirifica has been shown by Thailand scientific studies to augment breast size up to 80 percent, although these results have not yet been duplicated in the United States or Europe. It has, like wild yam, been shown to help with general breast health, and some say that it helps offset a woman's chance of breast cancer.

Generally, female breast enlargement herbs create more healthy breast tissue by stimulating breast growth in much the same way that estrogen would. They are given a safety rating called "GRASE" by the FDA, meaning they are "generally regarded as safe and effective". Although the powers that be in the US do not stand behind them 100 percent because of the shortage of scientific studies on their effectiveness, most women who try them report a positive change.

Studies show that men and women alike believe larger breasts are more attractive, so it makes sense that female breast enlargement herbs would be popular. Studies also show that women have better self esteem when they feel good about their bust line, so employing these herbs can have an even more dramatic positive effect on life than just having a drawer full of new bras. Along with a bigger bust line, women get a little more to brag about.
