The recommended herbal therapies for a client with breast pain are:

Dong quai: This herb is often used for menstrual cramps and menopausal symptoms, but it is not specifically known for alleviating breast pain. Therefore, it is not typically recommended for this purpose.
Chamomile: While chamomile is known for its calming effects and can help with general relaxation, it is not specifically used for breast pain relief.
Bugleweed: This herb is more commonly used for conditions related to thyroid function and is not typically associated with the treatment of breast pain.
Chaste tree fruit: Also known as Vitex, this herb is often used to treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and breast pain (mastalgia) due to its effects on hormone regulation.
Black cohosh root: This herb is commonly used for menopausal symptoms and can help with breast pain due to its potential effects on hormone levels.
