Natural breast enhancement

This article discusses the notion of natural breast enhancement, and whether herbal breast enhancement or other natural methods are effective. Both natural enlargement and reduction concepts are mentioned.
Herbal
There is inadequate scientific study whether herbal breast enlargement can be achieved using pills, capsules or creams that profess to have the ability to increase the size, firmness and or fullness of one's breasts. There are a wide variety of herbal breast enlargers on the market today. Breasts are made up of fatty adipose tissues, and herbal supplements contain natural compounds called phytoestrogens that supposedly stimulate the growth of breast tissue. Herbs have been used for centuries in old folk remedies and are believed to be able to increase breast size. However, the ability of these herbs to do so has not been scientifically proven.
Herbal breast enhancement supplements have become very popular over the last few decades. Women are in search of a more painless and affordable alternative to breast implants. There has been an increasing demand for non-surgical breast enhancement methods, and marketers of herbal remedies have responded with a plethora of pills to satisfy this need. Natural breast enhancement products are advertised on the internet, television, and in magazines.
There are marketed breast reduction supplements, and there is also insignificant evidence on this claim.
Hormonal balancing and lactogogue tonic
Common herbs used are known for hormonal balancing or for being lactogogues.
There is clinical proof that nettle inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which is responsible for alcopeca.
However, there is no medical evidence whether nettle use is an effective treatment for hair loss.
and Asparagus racemosus is an ayurvedic remedy for increasing breask milk production. In few clinical trials, Asparagus racemouses increased mammary specific tissue mass in mice, goats and guinea pigs.
Another clinical study differed in the conclusion of Asparagus Racemousus as a galactogue.
Gynaecomastia
Lavender and tea tree oil have hormonal effects and it is suspected in causing gynaecomastia in male youth.
Safety and efficacy
Many women begin taking these herbal remedies without realizing that there is little, if any, evidence of the efficacy of these treatments. Further, there is little evidence as to whether these remedies pose long-term safety concerns, or whether they interfere with fertility or menstruation.
There are a broad range of sites on the internet that claim they are there to empower consumers. This is highly misleading, as there have been no published clinical trials that have verified the ability of herbal supplements to increase breast size or fullness. The only 'proof' available that these herbal remedies work can be found within the testimonials found on the products website, or within chat rooms in which consumers share stories and experiences. It is highly problematic that claims of the efficacy of herbal breast enhancement supplements have not been verified by another source; a source that shares no vested interest in the successful marketing of the product. It is clear that the personal biases of these companies (wanting to make money off of an uninformed customer), rather than scientific evidence, drive the conclusion that these remedies will work to enhance the size of breasts.
Zearalenone (ZEN), a mycoestrogen in many herbal bust enhancement products or its derivatives are xenoestrogens that are produced by a toxic fungus, may increase the chance of breast cancer, stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells and reduce fertility.
Exercise
Core exercises can influence chest definition and appearance, but it has no known direct effect on breast fatty tissue. Weight change may have an effect on breast tissue reduction or gain.
