Any plant believed to be beneficial for breast health or the treatment of breast ailments in traditional herbal medicine.
Compound of 'breast' (Old English breost) and 'weed' (Old English weod, meaning herb or plant). Medieval herbalists used this naming convention for plants targeting specific body parts.
Many traditional 'breast weeds' like comfrey and marshmallow were actually used broadly for many conditions—herbalists often named plants after the body part they *looked* like rather than what they actually treated!
