Herbal breast enhancement is catching on like wildfire among women who want to increase their natural proportions. With the increasing acceptance of breast augmentation, but a heightened awareness of the benefit of natural, herbal remedies for physical and medical problems, more and more women are turning to herbal breast enhancement supplements as a means to safely and effectively enhance the appearance of their breasts.

Herbal breast enhancement supplements are generally safer than undergoing breast augmentation surgery, and they are cheaper and easier to use. What’s more, they are effective, but effective in a subtle way. With herbal breast enhancement, the breasts actually grow so that it is not obvious that one day you wear a B cup and the next day you wear a D cup. This is probably one of the most pleasant benefits of herbal breast enhancement; people notice your improved appearance, but no one questions the veracity of it.

The herbal breast enhancement supplements that work do so because they are actually either hormone supplements, stimulate hormone production or mimic hormonal action in the body. In the body is the operative phrase: hormonal activity cannot be enhanced by anything you put on the outside of your body, therefore the most effective type of herbal breast enhancement is ingestible. Since you must put these products into your body, you should know what they contain. Most have the same effective ingredients: saw palmetto; damiana; dong quai; blessed thistle; wild yam; fenugreek; and fennel.

Saw Palmetto is often prescribed by naturopathic doctors to increase breast size because it is a hormone regulator. It can cause the body to make more estrogen, which is one of the hormones responsible for female sexual development including breast development. Damiana is an herb traditionally prescribed to treat hormone imbalances and poor mammary gland development. Dong quai is another herb used to stimulate estrogen production. Blessed thistle is not known to increase or mimic estrogen in any way, but it is thought to generally improve female sexual organs. As well, it is thought to help blood carry the other ingredients to the pituitary gland (which makes estrogen) more effectively. Wild yam is perhaps the most widely used herbal remedy for female sexual and reproductive health. It contains diosgenin which stimulates progesterone. Progesterone is the other hormone responsible for female sexual development. Fenugreek contains diosgenin and isoflavones. Isoflavones mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. Fennel seed also mimics the effects of estrogen.

The key to finding the best herbal breast enhancement supplement is to look for manufacturers that use the highest grade herbs. Even high quality supplements have side effects. Generally, women report fuller lips, heightened sexual arousal, clearer skin (usually after an initial break out), diminished PMS symptoms; increased regularity and decreased severity of menstruation. If these side effects sound familiar to you it may be because you’ve been taking birth control pills. Birth control pills actually contain estrogen and progesterone and will have all the same effects of herbal breast enhancement supplements.

Herbal breast enhancement, generally, hasn’t been scientifically proven to be effective, but hundreds of years of anecdotal evidence supports the effectiveness of particular plants and herbs for breast enhancement. If you have concerns about safety, visit a naturopathic or osteopathic doctor who will be able to prescribe safe herbs in safe amounts and monitor your health.
