There have always been women who have suffered the agony of small, underdeveloped, or sagging breasts. Many have just accepted this as a frustrating but unchangeable situation. Some have opted for breast implants by breast augmentation surgery.

However, the cost, risks and possible side-effects of implant surgery make this an undesirable option. The average cost of a breast enhancement surgery is between $5,000 and $6,000. Most people either don’t have this kind of money to spend on breast enlargement or prefer to keep this cash for more productive and meaningful purposes! Nevertheless, breast augmentation is the No. 1 cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the U.S., up 756 percent since 1992, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Yet, despite the popularity, the procedure remains controversial because of the cost, the risks, and the problems of ruptures or leaks.

In a brochure detailing the common problems with breast implants, the FDA states, “Breast implants will not last a lifetime. Either because of rupture or other complications, you will likely need to have the implants removed….You are likely to need additional doctor visits and re-operations because of one or more complications over the course of your life….Capsular contracture and rupture/deflation are the most common local complications that occur with both silicone gel-filled and saline-filled breast implants.” Consequently, today better-informed women are increasingly turning to natural breast enlargement options. One such option that has been proven to be successful is Breast Actives.

The concept of natural breast enlargement is based on scientific research that has established that stimulating the estrogen receptors in the breasts with complex phytoestrogens, from plant sources, can increase the size of female breasts by as much as 150%. Phytoestrogen is a plant-based, hormone-like substance which is so similar to estrogen, that the human body reacts to it as if it were estrogen. These research findings have been widely reported on national television and the print media. Breast Actives combines 13 all-natural herbs which are rich in phytoestrogens. Studies show that women who take Breast Actives experience many of the same positive effects they would experience from an influx of estrogen. The result is larger, firmer, fuller breasts, as well as the reduction of symptoms associated with both PMS and menopause.

The use of herbs and plant extracts for natural breast enhancement is not a new idea. The breast enlargement effects of several herbs have long been known in folk medicine and applied in various cultures in many parts of the world, dating back to the harem girls in the middle east. Modern science is only now becoming aware of the health benefits of phyto-estrogens and of their efficacy in enhancing the size and health of the breasts.

The herbs that are used in the better breast enhancing formulations, such as Breast Actives, have been safely and effectively used for centuries. The phyto-nutrients in these herbs have been featured in numerous publications about breast health and the prevention of breast cancer. Some of the most important of these herbs are:

Fenugreek – Minimizes menopause symptoms, relieves constipation, controls diabetes, reduces cholesterol, soothes sore throat pain and coughs, eases minor indigestion, relieves diarrhea, increases breast size and milk production in nursing mothers. From ancient times, Fenugreek has played a major role in herbal healing. Modern scientific research has found that Fenugreek reduces cholesterol levels, controls diabetes and minimize the symptoms of menopause. In India, traditional Ayurvedic physicians prescribe it to nursing mothers to increase milk production. In American folk medicine, Fenugreek was considered a potent menstruation promoter. For centuries rumors have floated out of the Middle East that harem women were fed Fenugreek seed to enhance their boobs. This turns out to be more than mere hearsay. The seeds contain compounds, such as diosgenin and other plant phyto-estrogens, that increase healthy breast tissue thereby resulting in enhanced breast size. According to Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D., director of the American Phytotherapy Research Laboratory in Salt Lake City, Utah, “There’s no question that Fenugreek reduces cholesterol”.

Saw Palmetto – This is now a popular and effective treatment for male prostate enlargement, but has its origins in herbal medicine as a breast enlarger. It is still rcommended today by naturopathic physicians for breast enlargement. Saw Palmetto is also used for the treatment of erectile deficiency in men, and for sexual arousal disorder in women. Native Americans, dating back to pre-Mayan civilizations, used Saw Palmetto berries for breast disorders. This plant extract is useful as a nutritive tonic, supporting the function of a healthy appetite and smooth digestion. It also tones the urethra, and it may be used to uphold the healthy function of the thyroid gland and urinary system. This remarkable herb has no side effects or drug interactions. Its breast enhancement effects derive from phyto-nutrients that stimulate breast tissue, increasing health and size.

Wild Yam – This is probably the most widely used herbal tonic for women’s health. It is used for natural breast enhancement and as a sexual stimulant. It is recommended by herbalist Susan Weed for development of healthy breast tissue. Wild Yam has long been used for its benefits in women’s reproductive health, including premenstrual syndrome and menopausal problems. It can be taken in capsules or in tea. The powder can be added to clitoral-vaginal stimulant creams/ointments and to breast massage lotions. The phyto-nutrients in wild yam are a good compliment to the nutrients in Fenugreek for stimulating breast enlargement.

Fennel – This herb has been used for centuries to enhance female breast size and to promote milk production in new mothers. The herb’s history is similar to the story of Fenugreek above. It is second only to Fenugreek in estrogenic compounds. Fennel is also used to treat amenorrhea, angina, asthma, heartburn, high blood pressure and to increase sexual desire in women. It is rich in the phyto-nutrients that enlarge breast size.

The Breast Actives System combines herbal pills rich in phytoestrogens with a breast enhancer cream that has Pueraria Mirifica as its primary active ingredient. This herb, which is native to Thailand, is also rich in phytoestrogens, has long been used for breast enhancement and, more recently, has been clinically proven to enhance female boobs. The combination makes this the #1 product for natural, non-surgical breast enhancement.
