Oh... and... fenugreek is NOT estrogenic. Like. At all. It's main purpose is as a galactagogue - increasing prolactin. It has a secondary effect as a minor adaptogen that can assist with estrogenic properties of other herbs. It has a tertiary effect on progesterone, but that effect is small enough as to be pointless in discussion.
The adaptogenic property can also benefit some girls that have a wonky steroidogenesis pathway and are cutting off their own natural estrogen production too soon. Without taking any additional estrogenic herb.
Wow.. I'm so late, I've been so busy hehe. So what herbs are good for just basic beginners? Because I'm still confused on what I should use and not use and what they do for me. I've researched but everytime I come up with a plan it's basically not right haha
