There are no natural "remedies" that I know of. 

There is only one non-invasive way to possible enlarge the breasts by about 150cc's. This is using the Brava system, which is basically a suction cup device that is placed on the chest to recruit adjoining skin ans tissue. 

This requires several hours of wearing each night for many weeks.  To put it in perspective, most patients I treat want an average of 250-500 cc implants in each breast.

There are no pills, topical creams, injections or other non-surgical procedures that serve as alternatives to breast augmentation. Without surgical placement of a breast implant, there are no other options to achieve more fullness or better shape of your breasts.

Fat injections and hyaluronic acid injections to augment the breast a small amount have been described recently but are not widely accepted or recommended at this time in the plastic surgery world. This is because we don't know the long-term effects of materials injected in the breast, especially in monitoring for breast cancer.
