I
honestly stumbled on to this one....herbal
breast enlargement. Now, don't get me wrong,
I'm completely content with my body, but when I read
that there was an herb that may increase breast size..I'm
sorry but had to try it out for myself. (Why not, right?)
According to The Green Pharmacy
by James A. Duke, PHD (if you don't own this book,
go buy it), Fenugreek is a "tasty, maple-flavored
herb that helps controll blood sugar in people with
diabetes and Fenugreek Sprouts may enlarge women's
breasts. It was noted in a study that after eating
several fair-portions of fenugreek sprouts over the
course of several days, that the test subject's breasts
seem somewhat larger. This was called a mastogenic
effect.
Fenugreek contains plant estrogen
or diosgenin, a chemical that's often used to create
semisynthetic
forms of the female sex hormone. While estrogen
has many effects on the body, two relate primarily
to breast enlargement. It was also noted in the book
that "harem women" used to take Fenugreek
to stay busty - ok, with that little tid bit of trivia,
I was intrigued...
So, based on this information,
I ordered some Fenugreek
caplets online for about $8. I took the the caplets twice a day for three
days when I woke up on
the
third
morning and DID notice my breasts were fuller, but
they did
hurt a bit as well.(Hee..how embarrassing to admit,
ok..I'm over it) I have experimented enough by
now to come to the conclusion that Fenugreek does
indeed
cause breast fullness (at least for me). However,
I noticed that it may cause some water retention
as well. I'm not going to chalk this up to PMS symptoms,
because it just wasn't that time!
I'm still experimenting
with the Fenugreek and increased water
intake to
see if
I
can flush
out
the extra water.
(When you drink alot of water, your kidneys will
reach a thresh-hold point where it triggers the
brain to
release more water - try this over a diuretic
- fight water with water..it works. However, it is
not recommended
that you drink over 10-12 glasses a day though,
unless you partake in heavy exercise.)
So, my vote...it works! Now
ladies, you won't wake up and find yourself a busty
C if you were an A, but you will notice a fullness.
If you can handle pain (unlike me) then you may want
to try this natural route.
If anyone else wants to try
Fenugreek out, please
keep us posted with your results. (You'd think
that if it worked for everyone, it would be hotter
than Ginseng or St. John's Wort!)
You can buy Fenugreek (inexpensive)
by weight at Starwest Botanicals online.
