Natural Breast Enlargements

Interest in natural breast enhancement has increased significantly over the last 20 years. One factor in this phenomenon is the easy accessibility of information on the internet. In addition, despite all of the innovations, concerns regarding the risks of surgical breast enhancement have not been eliminated.

As an option to surgery, there are over 100 herbal breast enhancement pills on the market for women who want to enlarge their breasts, but do not want to expose themselves to the risks associated with implant surgery. The majority of non-surgical breast enhancement products are herbal formulas, available in pill, cream or gum form. Others are self explanatory, such as breast pumps or physical exercises.

Since breast tissue is one hundred percent fat, no amount of exercise will enlarge or firm breast tissue. However, push ups and exercises to build up the muscles in the chest wall have an effect of making the breasts appear to be larger in size.

Herbal supplements designed to enhance and reactivate mammary glands to develop breast tissue, mimicking the process of puberty or pregnancy, that have natural estrogenic properties from plant sources, called phytoestrogens.

They are effective because of a process called "estrogen imitation". Phytoestrogens replace human estrogen and balance female hormone levels by exerting an estrogen-like effect on the reproductive organs. They are often much safer and less hazardous than estrogen, which has been known to cause breast cancer in some women. Phytoestrogens maintain hormonal balance by acting as an anti-estrogen when the body's natural levels are too high and as human estrogen when levels are too low.

Herbs that contain high levels of to be phytoestrogens include Fenugreek, Fennel Seed, Dong Quai Root, Blessed Thistle, L-Tyrosine, and Kelp. They are mild yet effective. Studies also show that these herbs also have other health benefits as well, including easing symptoms of PMS and menopause, and minimizing water weight gain during menstruation cycles. Chemical and environmental toxins often mimic estrogen and attach to receptor sites, slowing the growth process. All of the herbs listed above contain nutrients to help flush these toxins out of the body, making it easier for the beasts to grow.

Phytoestrogens also provide relief from common menopausal symptoms, including:

• Night Sweats
• Vaginal Dryness
• Depression
• Mood Swings
• Hair Loss
• Insomnia
• Hot Flashes
• Lack of Concentration
• Fatigue
• Memory Loss
• Weight Gain

Breast enhancement gum is one of the newest products on the market for natural enlargement. Reportedly, it works similarly to the most popular herbal supplements, with many of the same ingredients, such as is fenugreek, fennel, donq quai, wild yam and other herbal extracts that are known to help promote the growth of breast tissue growth. Whereas a patient would take one pill a day, she would chew the gum throughout the day to continually the nutrients to her body. Manufacturers claim that with breast gum, there is a revolutionary sustained release system that enhances the availability of the herbal extracts, thus making it more effective than traditional pill supplements.

Breast creams are probably the least effective means of enlarging breasts. In some cases, creams might cause a temporary skin swelling, but this the result of a reaction to the product, and is only temporary. Breast creams contain some of the same ingredients found in the more effective herbal supplements, including wild yam, black cohosh, fenugreek, burdock root, kelp and others; but they do not contain enough active ingredients to be effective.

Women have reported significant positive results with breast enhancement supplements; however breast creams have not rendered similar results. Women who used breast creams and supplements simultaneously credit the supplement with having the greater effect.

Because vitamins, dietary supplements and creams are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the efficacy of herbal supplements varies by brand and strength. The highest-rated herbal formulas are listed on the FDA list of GRAS list (Generally Regarded As Safe). Women seeking to enlarge their breasts through the use of natural, herbal supplements or creams are urged to refer to that list and consult their doctors to be certain the supplements do not have negative interactions with prescription medications or adversely affect pre-existing health conditions before starting a course of treatment.
