Estrogen

Does anyone know of an herb that effectively increases estrogen levels? The only one I am familiar with is red raspberry but it raises body temperature and is not safe for me to take on my current medication.

Herbs I can look up for you as I have many herbal books but my first suggestion is soy. Soybeans contain natural estrogenic compounds that help keep you levels stable. Not sure what a dose would be as we are all different. Try soy milk or a supplement and check out various dosages from a drugstore near you. I think soy milk tastes pretty good too. I drink coconut milk but not for estrogen. Black cohosh is one that is popular to take and camomile helps suppressed menstruation, they both do really. My list may not be right for you but worth a try or read about them and see what you think?

Thank you very much! I am limited to what I can research on my phone so usually I ask my mom when I don't know what herb to use. However at this moment it would just lead to questions I do not feel like answering. I will check out soy doses, as I know that is definitely safe with what I am on :)

Yes, dong quai aka female ginseng aka Chinese angelica root. It lowers high levels of estrogen and raises low levels.

Also black cohosh works like estrogen. But if you're taking birth control pills, you shouldn't take it.

black cohosh

Thank you all :)

Also, foods that increase estrogen include seeds, soya, and most wonderfuly, chocolate! (That explains a few things xD)

Step away from the chocolate Zeb! :O

Anise seed too. I just remembered that one.

Haha! :D
