Hi mesusuana,

Goat's Rue increases prolactin which is also important for NBE. Most of people tend to swell after taking it. Isabelle has good experience with it and some information about it in her program's page.

Hi Lled,

I used to take GR in capsules and also had sensations only in the beginning and I am not sure if I was getting any swelling probably because I was taking too little. Once I finished the bottles very quickly I ended up buying it in bulk as dry herb which is definitely much cheaper than the capsules! I get mine from a local internet herbal store here in Germany. You can get it on E-bay in bulk in the States as well, here is an example:

Just make sure you do not eat the dried herbs. I used to use a filter to make the tea but got lazy and started putting the herbs directly in the water. I ended up drinking small parts of the herb I could not filter and had some stomach problems for a few days (not sure if it was caused by goat's rue or not but once I started using the filter again I am back to normal). Isabelle recently mentioned to someone that the herb itself is toxic so I assume you can only either take it as an extract or as tea. I take about 3 g per day divided two cups per day. It tastes fine. You should definitely try since you definitely responded to the capsules.
