Hi, everyone,

Like many of you, I've sure spent a TON of time on herbalist's websites trying to decipher how each NBE herb acts on the body. I stumbled upon a great .pdf from "Must Grow Bust" that summarizes the main dozen or so herbs and their effects, and I though I would share:

Summary of Herbs:

Alfalfa: Another legume, alfalfa also contains phytoestrogens like spinasterol, coumestrol and coumestan. It’s also a galactogogue known to increase prolactin levels. You should know that alfalfa has mild diuretic properties and can cause upset stomach and diarrhea, ‘though it’s rare. It can also lower blood sugar and interfere with the body’s absorption of iron and Vitamin E – so alfalfa is a no-go if you’re anemic and you’ll want to supplement Vitamin E while on alfalfa.

Black Cohosh: Many people think black cohosh is a phytoestrogen, but growing evidence actually indicated that it doesn’t have general estrogen-like actions – rather, it only acts like estrogen in certain places, mainly the brain, bones, and vagina. It is, however a potent anti-androgen.

Dandelion Root: Great for a cleanse since it enhances the flow of bile in the liver while acting as a general stimulant for the urinary system and boosting digestion. It also helps detoxify your liver of excess estrogens and other hormones.

Damiana: Damiana’s mostly used as an aphrodisiac because it contains β-sitosterol and some aromatic oils that may be responsible for the stimulant effect. But it’s role in breast enhancement is a little tricky – although damiana was found to behave as progesterone in the body, it’s also been shown to raise testosterone levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme (which converts testosterone to estrogen). Can be very helpful for estrogen dominance.

Dong Quai: In studies, dong quai has been shown to be non-estrogenic and does not have any hormone-like actions. Especially when used just by itself, it’s mostly just good for boosting circulation thanks to coumarin, which dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow resulting in less menstrual cramps and painful periods.

Fennel: Fennel gets its licorice-like flavor from a group of natural compounds including anethole, photoanethole, and dianethole – all of which are phytoestrogens. On top of its estrogenic properties, it also increases prolactin levels, which is why it’s often recommended for nursing mothers – which can come with a risk, since fennel tea has been shown to lead to premature breast development in babies. As for progesterone, this is still up for debate – some studies say fennel increases progesterone levels and some claim it doesn’t.
Note: Fennel can increase your sensitivity to sunlight so make sure to wear sunscreen, especially if you’re light-skinned.
 
Fenugreek: Fenugreek seeds are mostly known for their phytoestrogenic activity because they contain diosgenin, which is a weak phytoestrogen shown to behave as estrogen in the human body. But fenugreek doesn’t just have estrogenic properties – it stimulates the ovaries to increase both estrogen and progesterone levels. It also increases prolactin production, making it one of the most popular galactogogue used to increase milk supply.
Note: Fenugreek contains an amino acid called 4-hydroxyisoleucine, which increases the body’s production of insulin when blood sugar levels are high, making fenugreek helpful for those with diabetes and high cholesterol. Of course, it should not be used if you’re prone to low blood sugar.
Also, especially in the first few weeks, you might experience mild gas and bloating but the biggest downside of fenugreek is that it has a maple syrup-y smell and can make you smell like a strange mixture of waffles and curry.

Goat’s Rue: Goat’s rue doesn’t contain any phytoestrogens, but it’s a potent galactogue, known to increase prolactin levels and encourage the development of mammary tissues. It’s most recommended for those with excess androgens, such as PCOS.

Green Tea: Green tea also inhibits 5-alpha reductase, effectively reducing the conversion of normal testosterone into the more potent DHT.

Hops: Hops is one of the most potent breast enhancement herbs since it has fairly strong estrogenic properties thanks to a substance called 8-prenyl naringenin (8-PN), which acts as a phytoestrogen to mimic natural estrogen in the body. 8-PN has also been shown to stimulate prolactin, IGF-1 and progesterone in the body. Hops’ claim to fame? Compared to other phytoestrogens, which range from 1/200 to 1/1,000 of the strength of real estrogen, the 8-PN in hop is about 1/20 the strength.
Note: Hops has mild sedative properties, which is why it’s often used to promote sleep and relaxation so it’ll be great for you if you suffer from anxiety or are high-strung. That being said, hops can worsen depression so stay clear of it if you’re prone to depression.

Licorice Root: Licorice is one of the best breast enhancement herbs because it both contains phytoestrogens, mostly Liquiritigenin, which mimic estrogen in the body and reduce testosterone. In studies, licorice has been shown to reduce blood testosterone levels in women by 50%, thanks to an active ingredient called glycrrhetinic acid, which inhibits 17B-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the enzyme responsible for testosterone production in the ovaries hair follicles.

Pueraria Mirifica: Contains various phytoestrogens, including deoxymiroestrol, daidzein, daidzin, genistein, genistin, and coumestrol. The chromene phytoestrogens, miroestrol, isomiroestrol, and deoxymiroestrol, are possibly of a similar potency to 17B-estradiol (https://examine.com/supplements/pueraria-mirifica/). Reported to lower the likelihood of developing breast cancer. May lead to estrogen dominance due to the potency of its phytoestrogens, although this has been disputed. No evidence to support a reduction in testosterone levels.


Red Clover: Red clover is a part of the legume family, like soy, and also contains isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens. But unlike the other legumes, red clover contains all four estrogenic isoflavones: biochanin, formonoetin, daidzein, and genistein, making it one of the strongest estrogenic herbs. It’s also one of the strongest PR (progesterone)-binding herbs, so you can use red clover to increase both estrogen and progesterone levels.
Note: Red clover’s also been shown to be helpful in reducing bad cholesterol levels and stimulating the increase in bile acid. It also contains small amounts of coumarins, which dilates blood vessels and helps to keep the blood from becoming thick and gummy – a good thing overall ‘cause it prevents blood clots and arterial plaque.
(catpower's note: reducing cholesterol levels and thinning blood may be particularly beneficial for NBE, as an increased estrogen level is a known risk factor for DVTs -- blood clots in the calf that can travel to the lungs, heart, or brain).

Red Reishi: Lowers testosterone levels by reducing levels of 5-alpha reductase, which is the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Saw Palmetto: Saw palmetto is commonly used in breast enhancement because it blocks the conversion of testosterone into DHT (catpower's note: by acting as a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor) which is a much stronger form of testosterone. But at the same time, saw palmetto may also reduce the number of estrogen receptors, thus decreasing the effects of estrogen. This estrogen and testosterone-blocking action of saw palmetto is most likely what makes it so effective for clearing up acne.
Despite this estrogen-blocking paradox, Saw Palmetto is  one of the oldest, most popularly used breast enhancement herbs.  It’s commonly recommended as a breast enlarger by herbalists and homeopathists and there’s even a reference to it that dates back to 1898: ...”its (Saw Palmetto’s) most pronounced effects appear to be those exerted upon the urino-genital tracts of both male and female, and upon all the organs concerned in reproduction...to enlarge wasted organs, as the breasts, ovaries, and testicles...” King’s American Dispensatory


Shatavari: This herb literally means ”she who has a hundred husbands” and is a versatile female tonic and the main Ayurvedic rejuventation herb for women of all ages. It contains steroidal saponins and isoflavones which are phytoestrogenic and support the body’s own natural production of estrogen. Shatavari is also a galactogogue and shown to increase prolactin levels and increase growth of the mammary glands.

Soy: Probably the best-known source of isoflavones – the major ones found in soy are genistein and daidzein, both of which are phytoestrogens.

Spearmint: Spearmint tea has been shown to significantly decrease free testosterone in the body while increasing estradiol (the strongest of the estrogen hormones).
(catpower's note: Spearmint decreases free testosterone, but it does NOT inhibit 5-alpha reductase, which prevents the conversion of T to DHT. If you are taking a pro-aromatase herb to promote the conversion of T to estrogen, you may prefer a traditional 5-alpha reductase to spearmint).

Vitex (Chasteberry): Vitex is a super hormone-balancing herb. It contains no hormones itself, but it helps the body increase its production of LH, which boosts progesterone levels during the Luteal Phase of the menstrual cycle. Further helping to increase progesterone levels, vitex has also been shown to stimulate the formation of the corpus luteum, which is responsible for progesterone secretion.
Vitex’s effects on prolactin are a little more controversial – it seems to increase prolactin when taken in low doses (less than 200mg) but decreases prolactin when taken in higher doses (like 900mg).

White Peony: Peony has weak estrogen-like effects on the body and it’s great for reducing testosterone levels by promoting the aromatization of testosterone into estrogen. It’s strongest when combined with licorice, which is recommended for those with excess androgen levels (PCOS) as well as for biological males. Peony has also been shown to have a positive influence on low progesterone levels.

Wild Yam: Wild yam root also contains diosgenin, a weak phytoestrogen shown to protect against breast cancer. But wild yam has not been shown to increase estrogen nor progesterone levels. Many people mistakenly believe wild yam contains progesterone because of its diosgenin content, but the human body cannot convert diosgenin into progesterone – that must be done in a laboratory.

Is it okay to take herbs the week before your period?

hi all; this is something that happened to me, i have been only taking fenugreek for 1 week but becuase it made me urinate alot i lost alot of potassium causing my blood pressure to rise dramatically. i have high blood pressure and take meds for it , so when i felt different i checked it and it was getting higher and higher. then i started looking for more info on it i finally found 1 article which described this , so now i am cutting down on my fenugreek and eating more foods with lots of potassium in them. good luck to all and do your homework

===========================================
HOW TO USE THIS LIST
===========================================
This list is beneficial for use in determining the types of herbs you would like to take. By knowing what the herb does/functions, you can make a good program for yourself.

For example: Since SP, PM, and hops are sources of anti-androgen, you can take two and eliminate the other. (Thanks Isabelle!). So for the anti-androgen portion, you can take PM and hops.


===========================================
Notes
===========================================
I am still confused on how to make combinations of herbs to take. All I am assuming is not to take more than two of the same types.

Drink LOTS & LOTS OF WATER!! You don't want to dehydrate yourself and get kidney stones.

Do phytoestrogens have the same effect on prolactin production as estrogen?

This may be floating around somewhere already, but I've looked pretty thoroughly through the latest threads and haven't found anything. I came across a GREAT website for anyone interested in Herbalism (be it for breast growth, general health, or both [= ). http://www.naturalhealthschool.com/
You can even get a certificate if you want. Happy growing ladies!

Hi everyone

I've been reading this forum for quite a long time and suprisingly I haven't found any info on Damiana herb.
Damiana leaves are used almost in every breast enlargement pills but it seems noone uses them on their own...

Here's some extract from a herbal website:
'Most recently, Damiana leaf tinctures have been promoted for natural breast enhancement. The University of Mississippi study showed that pinocembrin and acacetin inhibit the activity of an enzyme involved in the synthesis of estrogen. The aromatase inhibitors are used to reduce the amount of estrogen available to bind to hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer cells. And though this effect may lower your risk of breast cancer, it may also contribute toward breast enhancement.'

Currently I'm 36A but it'd be great to achieve C cup.
Anyway, I've decided to take fenugreek, fennel and damiana pills. I'll post my progress

please add to this or correct me ;] on information to help others

nbe: herbs, nutrients and foods

ALFALFA
it contains phytoestrogens - and more specifically:
Cumestrole (whose structure is similar to that of estradiol,
which has estrogenic properties), Medicagole and complex coumarines
whose structure is similar to that of an estrogenic hormone: stilboestrol.
Isoflavones: Biocanole A, Formononetole.

BARLEY
It is also known traditionally for its galactogogue property,
ie. for stimulating the production of mother's milk in nursing women. In all other women this hormonal action simply affects the body's natural hormonal balance and production of estrogens, which feed the healthy development of the breast,
the main receptor for estrogens in women.

BORAGE
Contains phytoestrogens associated with its traditional use to
increase breast milk in lactating mothers and to regulate hormones.

carrot:
Contains components with estrogenic activities,
most notably beta carotene, which, like all
phytoestrogens, is a substance similar to female hormones,
and therefore able to regulate their production in the body, thus stimulating the natural development of the breast, the main receptor of estrogens in the female body. This property is confirmed by the traditional use of carrot as a stimulant to the production of mother's milk - indeed it acts on the breast by promoting the development of the mammary glands.


Panax ginseng
It has a high content in isoflavones (phytoestrogens)
and other hormone-like substances such as estradiol
which have a direct influence in balancing the female body's hormonal
production and thus contributing to the healthy and natural development of the breast, which is the main beneficiary of a good estrogenic production, not only because the mammary glands naturally attracts estrogens, which stimulate its growth, but also because estrogenic compounds in plants bind to these receptor cells in the mammary glands, thus blocking the absorption of bad estrogens from chemicals and foods, and therefore protecting the breast from harm.

BEE POLLEN
it's a general tonic for the organism and assists in all processes of
healthy development and growth

Buckwheat Leaves/Flowers
Buckwheat leaves and flowers
First cultivated in China in the 10th century, recent medical studies
have demonstrated the far-reaching health benefits of buckwheat, including protection against heart disease, a lowered risk of diabetes, and gall stone prevention.
But buckwheat contains rutin,
an antioxidant that strengthens
the capillaries and improves circulation,
as well as bioflavonoids, which support collagen production,
both potentially beneficial in improving breast size and shape.

Hops (Humulus Lupulus)
Hops contain estrogen-like compounds, called prenylflavonoids,
of the most potent is 8-prenylnaringenin.
Hops' role on fertility lacks research.
Prenylflavonoids from hops may have anticancer properties.
Used in the brewing of beer, hops contain a potent phytoestrogen
called 8-prenylnaringenin which has 0.2-20% the potency of estradiol, the main human estrogen.
Hops are sedating and are used for anxiety and insomnia.
They can cause excess drowsiness, so people who are driving or who otherwise need to stay alert should use it with caution. Hops should not be used by people with depression.
Hops can affect the metabolism of prescription drugs in the liver,
such as drugs for allergies, fungal infections, cancer,
high cholesterol or oral contraceptives.

Licorice Extract is a very effective herb in promoting the increase of
hormones which help your body develop sexual characteristics.
Particularly buttocks, hips, and at times the breast.
Licorice also helps improve immunity and stimulate brain power.
Since licorice is believed to increase the production of estrogen ,
it is believed to benefit women in terms of breast tissue growth.
Further studies are needed to confirm the theory.

Turmeric
Turmeric, found in curry, is known to
help increase the body's progesterone levels.

AGUAJE
By having a high value on phytoestrogens, the effects of the fruit become more notorious on the female gender. Peru's native culture has used this plant for hundreds of years, and they attribute it with palliative qualities for dealing with menopause symptoms, as they
also claim that the fruit increases fertility.

Maca Root
It’s what’s called an “adaptogen,”
which means it boosts your body’s ability to heal,
adapt to stress and new situations, and is beneficial for your
all-around physical well being. And while it contains no phytoestrogens
or other hormonal properties, it has a unique ability to lure your body
into regulating its own hormones in healthy ways.
It’s chock full of trace minerals and vitamins like B6, niacin,
riboflavin, and vitamin C. Yellow,black and red maca. Black is highest in DHEa for butt growth.
"common side effects of taking dhea, and minimizing side ... For men, these hormonal changes may include breast enlargement,"
maca is mainly for butt growth high DHEa levels can be agured bad for nbe.

hyaluronic acid
"A Swedish doctor says that hyaluronic acid gel injections are effective for breast enhancement"
ChiyoMilk took hyaluronic acid every day to accelerate cell growth
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally present in the human body. It is found in the highest concentrations in fluids in the eyes and joints.
The hyaluronic acid that is used as medicine is extracted from BioCell Collagen.
Hyaluronic acid is also used as a lip filler in plastic surgery.
Hyaluronic acid supplements are also said to
improve bone density and protect against osteoporosis, increase muscle strength, and enhance sexual function.


Marshmallow Root
It also has an inhibitory effect in hyaluronidase,
which is an enzymatic action in which the hyaluronic acid
and other muco-polysaccharides in the connective tissue are degraded.

OatStraw (Avena Sativa):
Avena Sativa came to the United states by way of Scotland.
Avena Sativa is rich in saponins, flavonoids, minerals,
and alkaloids necessary for a healthy hormone system.
A well known supplement designed for promoting natural
breast enlargement and female breast enhancement.

Kava Kava
It is believed that Kava Kava in able to
increase the body’s production of prolactin;
one of the hormones that are responsible for breast growth.
In fact, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
has referred to a study with 59 participants
taking the Kava extract for two months and 39 of them
have reported back with the increase in breast size.
This study was placebo-controlled.

Cumin seed or black seed
I was recently reading the book "The Green Pharmacy"
authoored by renound herbalist Dr. James A. Duke.
In his herbal breast enlargement section he mentioned
cumin seed as a herb to try for natural breast enlargement.
He stated that in laboratory studies with mice,
it caused them to grow more mammary cells.
He stated there has not been any studdies on humans
for this effect but humans tend to react the same way.

Pueraria Mirifica This native root of Thailand is prized for its superior breast enhancement properties. Pueraria Mirifica is nature’s most potent source of phytoestrogens and miroestrol. These compounds have been scientifically shown to enhance breast size. Pueraria Mirifica (also known as White Kwao Kreu) is a herb native to only Thailand and the most potent phyto-estrogen unique to this plant that exists. It grows naturally in forests in North and West Thailand at altitudes of 300 to 800 meters above sea level. The tuberous root of Pueraria Mirifica is a rich source of phytoestrogens. The concentration of phytoestrogens in Pueraria Mirifica is much higher than other plant sources. Isoflavones are known to promote firmer-looking and uplifted breasts, alleviate menopausal symptoms and improve skin tone. Most women in clinical tests have achieved noticeable breast growth and firmness within a few months of using Pueraria Mirifica. For example, in a Japanese study, 80% of the women who received a daily dose of Pueraria Mirifica experienced significant breast enlargement or firming.
Not only that! But Pueraria Mirifica contains isoflavones which are powerful
anti-breast cancer and anti-colon cancer properties.Also known as Kwao Krua, Pueraria mirifica is a plant found in Thailand and Burma and used by the indigenous hill tribe people.
The plant contains compounds called miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol,
which have been found to have estrogen-like effects in the body.
Like the other herbs used for natural breast enhancement,
pueraria mirifica should not be used by pregnant or nursing women, people with hormone-sensitive cancers, or by people using oral contraceptives as contraception.
In one study examining pueraria mirifica in perimenopausal women,
side effects included anemia.

Agnus Castus
Agnus Castus Increases progesterone production,
helping the breasts swell and firm up to boost breast fullness.
Agnus castus is a potent plant-based source of sex hormones that
helps balance women’s sex hormones and estrogen levels and can effectively raise progesterone levels in women. Agnus Castus is a hormonal balancing herb helping to increase the growth of breast tissue and reduce breast tenderness. The herb has become well-known as a hormonal regulator for women. Agnus Castus helps in cases of corpus luteum insufficiency or prolactin excess. As a result of its effects it has the ability to normalize the secretion of prolactin and reduce oestrogen to progesterone levels. The basic mechanism of action underlying agnus castus is its effect on enhancing corpus luteal development (thereby correcting a relative progesterone deficiency). Agnus castus helps normalise other hormones and reducing both prolactin and the estrogen-to-progesterone ratio. It is extremely helpful in a wide range of pre-menstrual problems such as spots, irritability, breast tenderness, and 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. For women entering the menopause, it can help to even out mood swings and improve hot flushes.

Fenugreek Extract Any breast enhancement product must contain fenugreek.
Fenugreek is a unique herb rich in phytoestrogens. Fenugreek aids in hormone production and facilitates the development of the mammary glands that "feed" on estrogens. This is a key ingredient for beast enlargement.This is one of the world’s oldest medicinal herbs and has been used for centuries to support mammary gland growth. Fenugreek has also been tested as a potential treatment for breast and colon cancer. Fenugreek contains diosgenin which is known to help with progesterone balancing. Fenugreek is a unique herb indigenous to countries on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Rich in phyto-estrogens, fenugreek aids in hormonal production, and facilitates the development of the mammary glands which 'feed' on estrogens. Fenugreek Seed Extract contains some of the highest concentrations of the plant elements recommended by herbalists for breast enlargement. Fenugreek is rich in flavonoids that cause estrogenic effects. This boosting of secretion is key to the formation of new breast cells and tissue, and the boosting of excretion is key to the cleansing of the estrogen receptor sites which get clouded with environmental toxins that mimic estrogen. By acting to remove these and other toxins from the body, it acts as a tonic and stimulant as well. Fenugreek is also a hormone regulator that that has been used to treat menopausal symptoms and hormone balances the female system. Trigonelline, a chemical found in Fenugreek, has been in testing as a potential treatment for cancer as well. Fenugreek has a long history as a breast enlarger and contains diosgenin which is used to make synthetic estrogen. It has been found to promote the growth of new breast cells and increase the size and fullness of the breasts. Of all the herbs used for breast enlargement fenugreek has the highest concentrations of the effective plant compounds. 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. The seeds, in addition to female hormone precursors, also contain compounds that increase healthy breast tissue. Since the seeds contain diosgenin and other plant phyto-estrogens fenugreek provides a mastogenic effect resulting in enhanced breast size.

Borage
Borage Contains phytoestrogens associated with boosting hormones for breast tissue growth and regulating and balancing female hormones. This balancing action has a direct influence on the development of the breast, which has estrogen receptors that naturally attract the female hormones naturally secreted by the body thanks to the effect of phytoestrogens. Borage also helps relieve the discomforts of PMS, endometriosis, and fibrocystic breasts - by interfering with the production of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins which are released during menstruation. Borage may also reduce some of the breast tenderness that women feel before their periods and calm endometriosis-associated inflammation. Many PMS sufferers are found to have unusually low levels of GLA in their systems, which is why supplements may help. In women with fibrocystic breasts, Borage’s essential fatty acids can minimise breast inflammation and promote the absorption of iodine, a mineral often found in abnormally low levels in those with this condition.

One recent study did find that wild yam consumption altered estrogen levels.
In the study, 24 postmenopausal women replaced their staple food with 390 g
of yam in 2 of 3 meals per day for 30 days. After yam ingestion, there were
significant increases in concentrations of estrone (26%),
sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) (9.5%), and a near significant
increase in estradiol (27%).Wild yam should not be used by pregnant
or nursing women, by women using oral contraceptives as contraception,
or by people with hormone sensitive cancers.

tissue growth and has also been reported to improve skin, nails and hair.
Cultural studies relating to the result of diet including kelp have
determined a link to a lower breast cancer rate, and a healthier
hormonal balance.

2nd day of taking red clover, got up at a reasonable time after a reasonable sleep. took my tablet and got on with my day. started feeling more and more tired, dry mouth etc like when i take travel sickness tablets that knock me out - ate and drank loads but wasn't any better. the moment i got a moment to myself to read my eyelids were soooo heavy at 3pm (I'm healthy 20 year old!) that i had to take a siesta, and when i woke i felt even worse! Just wearing off now at 10pm. I mean, I've had a very busy week but was just wondering if Red Clover is known for this - if so I need to stop taking it as I'm looking after 3 little boys!

I love teas, and many times I drink a tea because of its properties, although, I really enjoy the ritual part of it too. Today I reached for my Raspberry leaf tea and brewed a cup-yum, yum. Then, I decided to read more on its benefits, since I did that last year and could not remember why it was so good. Anyway, I came across the following site, which is very nice and informative. I decided to make a thread about herbal teas, and once in a while to post an herbal tea, mainly the ones that I drink. So at least I can share the benefits if not the tea itself-

I've just ordered some maca root off ebay and I'm wondering if anyone on here has heard of it. It's called "nutra brand maca root"

My breasts have grown from various NBE methods but now I want a bigger butt.

Being a born a man i have concerns about prostrate health,, Saw Palmetto has obvious benefits for men, and i understand that it controls testosterone production which is beneficial to the cause of breast growth, but here's where im confused. I read recently that it also inhibits estrogen in some cases,, UGH,,,? isn't that going to work against my efforts to build estrogen like compounds in my system? I understand one is a plant based form and the other is a natural production of the human body, so can someone clear this up for me? Just how important should Saw Palmetto be in my regimen , and just how much is a benefit to the cause? I want prostrate health , i just don't want to be sabotaging my efforts at breast growth ,lol

I have been browsing this forum for quite some time but just joined so that I could ask this question. I'm volunteering in Spain but want to start herbal breast enhancement, is anyone from here and, if so, would you be able to tell me where I could buy things?

Idea of what I'm looking for: fenugreek, wild yam, saw palmetto, or anything else you'd recommend 

Thanks!

Hello my lovely ladies. I just started nbe and i want to ask what oils do you use. I have sunflower oil here but I use it for my face. Does anyone use sunflower oil too???

what are the hormonal implications of this tea? I realise it has aphrodisiac properties but from what I "briefly" saw online i saw no specific hormonal reference. 
Can anyone clarify?
From what i see it has calmitive and digestive calming properties. But also used in breast enhancement formulas so there must be a hormonal link  somehow.
Thank you in advance...
