Breast Enlargement:
Fenugreek
For centuries this herb has been a folk remedy for
enhancing breast size and although no studies
have been conducted, modern testimonials give good
evidence to its efficacy. Fenugreek seeds contain
diosgenin, which is a chemical compound often used
to synthesize a form of the female sex hormone
estrogen.
Fennel
This is another estrogen producing herb which has
been used for centuries to promote the flow of milk
in nursing mothers. In a non pregnant female, it
has the same effect as fenugreek.
Saw Palmetto
Best known for its ability to shrink an enlarged
prostate in men, saw palmetto has also been applied
for breast enlargement purposes.
