#8 BUST ENHANCEMENT
Raja Serfoji (1777–1832 AD), a king in the Maratha Empire (today part of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), founded a medical research center called Dhavantari Mahal where the efficacy of traditional Indian herbs were tested. The results were collated in a series of manuscripts called Anubhoga Vaidya Bhaga, which means “recipes tested by experience”, listing various symptoms and their remedies.
Among the thousands of recipes was a treatment for breast enhancement. The recipe calls for gajapimpali fruit (Scindapus officinalis Schott.), powdered Indian ginseng (Withania somnifera Dunal.), snow lotus (Saussurea lappa Clarke.) and buffalo’s milk butter, otherwise known as ghee.
Evidently, women have for centuries looked for ways to enhance their bustlines.
