Hi Lactnet, I don't remember if I posted this, but here it is again. From Preventions' "The Complete Book of Natural and Medicinal Cures", p. 326, "India's traditional Ayurvedic physicians prescribed it (fenugreek) to nursing mothers to increase their milk." In America it was used as a menstruation promoter. "...scientists have confirmed that fenugreek seeds contains chemicals (diosgenin and estrogenic isoflavones) similar to the female sex hormone estrogen. Loss of estrogen causes menopausal symptoms, so adding fenugreek to the diet might help minimize them. Estrogen can also cause breast swelling....one doctor reports that a woman's breasts grew larger after eating fenugreek sprouts." Yeah, but how much? Anyone want to experiment? All best, Anne Kaeser, BA, IBCLC Germany mailto:[log in to unmask]
