Natural Breast Enhancement Methods, Do They Actually Work?

By John Tidswell

Many ladies are unsatisfied with the size of their breasts and seek a solution. They may wish to regain the younger firmer breasts of their youth or seek an increase in cup size to feel more feminine, attractive and wear some of the clothes they have to date avoided.

They may well have considered the solution of breast augmentation but declined the expensive offers, the surgeon's knife and the implants. It may be the choice of some, but not the choice of the many seeking a less intrusive, less expensive and a more natural looking risk-free alternative.

We haven't answered the question yet but to understand how and why some of the herbal methods may work to some extent we should perhaps understand a little more about the development of the breast during puberty. During this time, estrogens required for breast tissue development are produced naturally in a woman's body. The size, shape, and fullness of the breasts are largely dependent upon the duration of puberty and the overall amount of the unique breast tissue hormone produced by the pituitary gland during this variable time frame.

Women who experience a shortened period of pubescence or a reduced production of estrogens hormones will develop smaller breasts.

So do any of the natural breast enhancement methods really work?

The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no, unfortunately, but a Yes with reservations and caveats.

They will not give the dramatic results or the instant results that breast augmentation can achieve but it is possible to achieve some reasonable, even impressive gains and the results should be rather more natural looking than the surgeon often achieves. But, the buyer really should beware because there are many companies peddling so called miracle solutions which are little more than useless. They will prey on the woman's dream and part her from her money in a similar way to a snake oil salesman. So if you are thinking of spending money do so with caution, extreme caution, if the price is high.

There are, however, several natural ways to increase breast size that are reported to work to some extent. We shall look at a few of them in turn.

Herbal remedies are one of the most popular ways to try to enlarge breasts. These potions can include creams, sprays, and pills. Each of these herbal remedies contains what is known as phyto-estrogen. This type of estrogen mimics the natural estrogens that the body produces and reacts with the tissues in the breast in order to stimulate growth. Or, that is the claim anyway.

If you are considering an herbal remedy consideration should be given to the quality of the ingredients used in the formula, the testing and testimonials offered by customers of the product concerned.

Prices can be just a few pounds up to several hundred, but if the company has done extensive testing and research you are not likely to find such a product to be very cheap. So a quality herbal breast-enhancing product could be rather expensive, but that is not to say that because it is expensive it is necessarily a quality product!

Breast enhancement pills works pretty much as the cream does. The major difference is that a cream works locally by absorption through the skin and a pill has a systemic effect. This means that the cream reaches receptors that can't be reached by creams and lotions.

There are thirteen natural botanicals that have been shown to have an effect on breast size. They are listed here in order that you may evaluate a product, especially an herbal pill, by its inclusion of these botanicals.

Fenugreek - A unique herb rich in phyto-oestrogens. Aids hormonal production and encourages the development of the mammary glands.

Saw Palmetto - The berries contain an oil rich in phytosterols, which may reverse atrophy of the mammary glands.

Fennel Seed - Long praised for its abundance of flavonoids which exert mild oestrogenic affects it is used to stimulate the repair and growth of new breast tissue.

L-Tyrosine - Plays an important role in the function of the adrenal, pituitary and thyroid glands. May stimulate the production of growth hormone which helps build muscle and reduce body fat.

Mexican Wild Yam - Commonly used as a treatment for osteoporosis, contains beta-carotene and diosgenin which are powerful phytochemicals which aid optimal breast development.

Kelp - Excellent source of minerals including iodine which is important for proper thyroid function.

Damiana - High phytochemical content it is primarily used for treating female hormonal imbalances.

Dong Quai - Used to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and cramps. May assist the body in the efficient use of hormones.

Mother's Wort - contains Leonurine which is a uterine stimulant.

Black Cohosh - Studies suggest that this herb may have similar effects as the drugs used in hormone replacement therapy.

Avena Sativa - Rich in saponins, flavonoids, minerals and alkaloids necessary for a healthy hormonal system.

Blessed Thistle - Long used worldwide as a hormonal balancing agent for women.

Humulus Lupulus - Rich in flavonoids whose action in regulating the hormonal production facilitates development of the mammary glands.

Look for not just the inclusion of a few of these ingredients but for the inclusion of as many as possible, in quality form too. Couple that discovery with a genuine reputable company, genuine user feedback and testimonials and you may just be on to a winner.

Other natural methods include massaging your breasts. By so doing you are stimulating the tissue underneath your breasts and encouraging it to grow. This process can be done by warming the hands by rubbing them together and slowly massaging the breasts in a circular motion inward towards the nipple in order to increase blood flow. It may be beneficial to couple this message with a quality herbal cream or gel and if you are using a herbal breast enhancement pill it could help its action.

Breast exercises too can help breast growth. The use of light weights with exercise that stimulates the upper part of your body. Push-ups, in particular, work the muscles in the chest and encourage blood flow.

Massage and exercise are both free methods of breast enhancement but may work best in combination with a breast enhancement pill, cream or both.

In conclusion, it is possible to achieve an increase in breast size using herbal methods but don't aim too high and be disappointed. You will not achieve instant results but should stick with your breast enhancement regime for several months during which you could see an increase of one or two cup sizes.
