Breast Herbs- How do they work?
The human breast possesses estrogen receptor sites which stimulate mammogenesis or the development of the mammary gland. These receptor sites are like a magnet attracting estrogen to them. Herbs with natural estrogenic properties from plant sources (phyto-estrogens) promote healthy tissue growth.
In addition there are steroidal percursors that naturally add to healthy breast tissue. Herbal data bases indicate that Fenugreek, Saw Palmetto, Wild Yam and Fennel seed contain the highest levels of these natural estrogens, phyto-nutrients and diosgenin.
These phyto-nutrients are mild and have many health benefits. Because they can replace excess estrogen in the system they can calm hormonal swings associated with PMS and menopause and may help to prevent breast cancer. Many chemical and environmental toxins can mimic estrogen and attach to the receptor sites also. The plant nutrients can help to wash these out of the system also, aiding in increasing the health of the breast tissue.
Are they safe?
These herbs are very safe and have been in common use for thousands of years. There are no health warnings of any sort associated with them and they are on the FDA's list of safe foods.
These are plants, not pharmaceutical drugs and their actions are mild. They would be similar in safety to something such as garlic.
They have been found to have many health benefits and are currently under study for controling diabetes, easing the symptoms of PMS and menopause, and preventing breast cancer. They may be a healthy alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies.
As with any herb or food there is always the possibility of allergic reactions. These are extremely rare with these herbs. Should you seem to have some sort of problem, you need simply to eliminate one herb at a time until you know which is causing the problem. You can then continue with the other herbs in the kits.
