[S442]Side Effects Of Herbs
by Emma Hulaken, Emm
pills could theoretically
improve bust size because some of them
contain herbs that been established to have
estrogen-like effects on the body. The most reliable of
these all natural breast enhancement products are herbal
supplements containing a combination of effective
herbs such as fenugeek, fennel seed, dong quai root, dandelion root,
watercress and kelp.
All of these herbs contain compounds called phytoestrogens which have
been shown to bind to estrogen receptors in mammary tissue and
stimulate growth. Birth control pills are thought to temporarily
increase breast size.
Kelp is an excellent option if you are looking for a herb
that is rich in iodine. Iodine plays an important role in the
proper functioning of the thyroid.It is known to reduce the
chances of breast cancer and help in maintaining a better hormonal
balance.
Dong Quai's root is to be used in easing menopausal
symptoms when the patient is suffering from cramps and hot flashes.
Among other uses, it is also known to assist the body in using the
hormones as efficiently as possible.However,one potential risk is that
dong quai has been found to increase the growth
of breast cancer cells in test tube studies.It can increase the
sensitivity of skin to the sun's rays. It also contains chemicals
called coumarins, which slow blood clotting.
Dandelion has been found to possess phytosterols, the plant building
blocks of hormones, but it is not known if these play a role in
dandelion’s benefit for breast tissue.
Watercress is one of the best sources of vitamin E. This is the
fertility vitamin, essential to breast enlargement, Vitamin E helps the
body to use oxygen, which increases physical endurance and stamina and
improves heart response. As a medicinal plant, Watercress has been
traditionally considered a diuretic, expectorant, purgative, stimulant,
stomachic and tonic. It has also been used as a remedy against anemia,
eczema, kidney and liver disorders, tuberculosis, boils, warts and
tumors. Watercress has more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk
and three times as much Vitamin E as lettuce. It’s packed with vitamins
A and C, and is low in calories.

Herbs are made up of flowers, berries, leaves, roots, bark, seeds, stems and gums and come in many forms. When you buy herbs whether they be in capsule, powder, oil, lotion, or liquid form, it is important to look for "standardized" ones. The majority of herbs are not regulated by the FDA so read labels carefully for dosage and safety information. Another consideration is how fresh the herbs are. Herbs sold in bulk have lost most of their nutritional value therefore it is better to choose freeze-dried ones.
