Hi,
Sorry but I just have so many questions! I was wondering what was safe to take with BO, as in any herbs?? I purchased this tea from greenbush a while back and I have A LOT left, so I really don't want to waste any. Here are the ingrediants:
Fenugreek
Licorice Root
fennel
caraway
dill
basil
anise
majoram
lemongrass
Thanks!!

Hi Kari,
Let me guess..the tea you have is 'Bustea" right?? Well, I'll tell you it's not recommended to take things such as: fenugreek and fennel with the bovine ovary...anything else as far as I know is okay, such as: saw palmetto and wild yam. I asked bountiful breast myself if taking things like fenugreek, saw palmetto and wild yam was okay with bovine ovary (way back in the beginning of starting NBE) and they said wild yam and saw palmetto is fine, but for some reason fenugreek slows the results down. (maybe cause it's a phytoestrogen, I'm assuming)...but, just as an experiment I had the Bustea myself in my program not too long ago, just to see if would give me a 'boost' or not, even though I know it may slow results down, I still wanted to see for myself, since teas aren't that strong of a dosage. But, I dropped it from my routine about 3 wks ago, cause I think that may be one of the reasons why my growth slowed down, I don't really know for sure cause I was still getting strong aches/pains while drinking the tea and actually I've had less pains now since dropping it...so I have no clue.???
I've heard of fenugreek giving one other lady a boost who was on bountiful and she grew really well. Don't know how long she used fenugreek or the dosage she used though.
I've read I think on the other forum that someone asked greenbush how many milligrams of fenugreek are in the bustea bags and they said it's 600mg of fenugreek for each tea bag. I was drinking 2 tea bags, so 1200mg a day.
It's hard to say if it will hurt your results or not, I would think if someone is maybe estrogen deficient it may give them a 'boost' along with the bovine ovary, and I always test estrogen dominant on those online hormone tests, so maybe it was too much estrogen for me with the fenugreek/fennel in the tea.
It's a tough call really, I know I hate wasting anything, so I can understand you wanting to use the tea in your program so it's not wasted. Someone who probably can answer your question about the tea with bovine ovary is Fawn over on the BeBoard forum (http://beboard.proboards107.com), she could maybe tell you if the tea would interfere with the bovine ovary as she knows a lot about NBE all together.
Good luck and let me know if you find out anything!!!

Thank you! I really wasn't sure, I will check be board and see what fawn says. At this point in time, slowing down growth is definitely something I do not want happening, thank you for your fast response!

i bought my bo from fawn and she also told me that fenugreek and fennel slow it down... because of the phytoestrogens (good work, michelle!). my colon cleanse stuff has a tiny amount of both in them, but i think it is so small it doesnt matter.
you may want to hold off on the tea until after the bo... or wait on the bo until your tea is done...
let us know if you find out anything different!
hugs and good boobie wishes!
