An excerpt from the aforementioned article reads:
The first acknowledged human study on breast enhancement was done in 1999 by Professors Kuramoshi (Japanese)and Yuthana (Thai). They tested [certified] PM species on 50 Japanese women, between 20 and 49 years old, with daily does of 100 mg to 600 mgs / day. Following our current recommended schedule of the 8th day from the stat of the monthly menstrual cycle to the 21st day.
Overall, more than 70% in each group demonstrated breast enlargement or firming. It was only after this study, that Chulalongkorn began reporting anecdotal evidence, used to commercialize breast creams sold on the internet. To date there have been no valid structured tests demonstrating the efficacy of breast creams containing PM.

Passwater: Although PM has been used safely for about a thousand years by hundreds of thousands of people as an herb to keep skin young looking and help ease the natural menopause (which is a normal event in aging, not a disease) should non-pregnant, adult women take PM without medical supervision?
Gordon: Quite frankly, the only warning would be for women not to take PM before the age of 18. If a menstruating woman takes PM, the recommendation is not to take it during the week of her period. I have never heard of there being any consequence from taking it continuously, but Thai traditional medicine recommends younger women taking one week off. Also, I recommend very few supplements or medicines for pregnant women. There is no need for pregnant women to take PM as they are not menopausal, so I do not recommend PM for pregnant women.
Apparently Dr.Gordon(as I've mentioned previously) is a leading authority on the matter. I'm going with the docs on this one ladies
Thanks hannah and soledad! I will keep up to date.
