It's my pleasure to join in this forum. As growers, our approach to Pueraria mirifica is from botanical & scientific attributes of the root tuber herb. Kwao Krua has been used in Thailand for about four hundred years by men & women mostly from the north Hilltribe villagers for it's "fountain of youth' anti-aging benefits.
About ten years ago to became wildly popular with ladies worldwide for its breast enlargement side effects.
Technology has also advanced in leaps and bounds which has enabled us to further examine the specific phytochemical components in the herb.
All of the hoopla generated by the idea of instant larger breasts has caused the flurry of misinformation that you read on various foreign web sites.
When foreigners come to Thailand to purchase the raw materials - they have no idea what they are buying - because you can only identify the authentic species when it flowers for 3 weeks a year - hence, many people end up buying a look-a-like herb root tuber and package it as authentic Pueraria mirifica because the people they bought it from said it was the real thing - with non scientific documents, of course.
The Thai government also got involved in the early 2000's and it is now considered a "national treasure". There was a big law suit several years ago when Japanese businessmen took out a patent on the herb - although it doesn't grow in Japan.
