Reaching a juncture in your life where you contemplate breast enhancement, you may want to consider the fully array of options available. Although surgery remains the most common procedure, some women are turning to natural and herbal breast enhancement products, according to the Breast Enhancement Consumer Guide.
Saw Palmetto Products
Saw palmetto has been used in treating certain types of prostate conditions in men. Some of these male patients reported breast enlargement after using saw palmetto, according to the National Institutes of Health. Noting this side effect, some women interested in enlarging their own breasts began using herbal products that included saw palmetto in the mix of ingredients.
Damiana Products
The herb damiana is included in products purported to enhance a woman's breasts. The herb is native to Central and South America as well as Texas. Although used as a breast enhancement herb in more recent times, damiana was introduced onto the U.S. marketplace in 1874 and used primarily as an aphrodisiac, according to the Natural Breast Enhancement Guide.
Fennel Products
Breast enhancement products containing fennel are marketed in the United States and elsewhere around the world, according to Herbal Breast Enhancement. Fennel contains phytoestrogens, which are said to cause the growth of breast tissue. In addition to being blended with other herbs, fennel is used alone by some women interested in increasing breast size.
Clinical and Research Data
No direct clinical or research data supports the proposition that herbs enhance breasts, according to the Mayo Clinic. Additionally, the Mayo Clinic warns that the phytoestrogens contained in some herbs recommended for breast enhancement increase the risk of some types of breast cancer.
