Is It Possible to Enlarge Breasts Through Natural Herbs and Massage?

I am 17 years old, my breasts are an A cup and I want to have fuller breasts without surgery. I came across an ad that says you can increase your breast size by up to a cup size, in just 3 months, by taking natural herbs (that duplicate the hormones you get during puberty) and through massage. Is this safe and can this actually work?

Herbs, Lotions, Potions

No regimens of herbs or creams have been shown to consistently and significantly increase breast size in a long-lasting way, as do breast implants. Any substances that purport to mimic hormones should be considered with the same cautions as a prescription medication: side effects can be undesirable or dangerous!

Herbs and pills don't give the same results as breast augmentation.

Herbs and pills don't give the same results as breast augmentation. Herb companies can make all kinds of claims about their results that do not have to be substantiated by research because they are marketed as dietary supplements. So if their claims are not valid you as a consumer have very little recourse. I know most of them say "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" or something like that, but read the fine print. It usually means you get your... more

Herbal breast enlargement: another example of "If it sounds too good to be true...."

If herbs really worked for breast enlargement, more people would use them and plastic surgeons would be buying stock in the companies making those herbs! Bottom line: there is no magic pill, nor is there any combination of magic pills that will give you long-term, reliable breast enlargement.

Herbs and Massage do not lead to Larger Breasts

Be wary of claims made by companies selling herbal remedies. There are no herbs which will make your breasts larger. Massage as well will not increase the size of your breasts. The difficulty with these advertisements is due in part to the fact that they do not need to substantiate their claims. Because herbal supplements are not regulated by the FDA, they can say whatever they'd like without providing proof. It's the old adage of, "if sounds too good to be true, it probably is... more

Treatments to increase breast size

As you can tell from the answers here, no cream nor pill will increase your breast size. Unfortunately, many businesses prey upon people's insecurities to make a buck.

Take your time, do your homework, and make the best decision for you. Surgery is not for everyone, but can help you achieve the... more

Breast implants only effective way to enlarge your breasts.

Hi. 1) Wait a couple of years. Your breasts may grow. 2) Surgery will then be your only option. Breast augmentation with breast implants is safe and effective. 3) Herbs do not work and may be dangerous.

Herbs do not work for enlarging breasts

Natural herbs cannot really enlarge your breasts enough to make you satisfied. If you desire larger breasts, breast implants are a great way. Patients with breast implants have extremely high satisfaction. Breast augmentation does what you want it to do. You can determine your size. It can build confidence and make you feel better about yourself.

Not a good choice

The only thing you will do if you buy their product is throw your money away. You are a young woman and your breasts will go through some changes in response to weight changes, etc. I would advise against these unproven and unregulated products. Dr Edwards

If it is too good to be true, it isn't!

There are herbal products and actual devices that can enlarge breasts a little bit. They are usually temporary and some can be quite expensive. The side effects of these are not well known. If you are looking for long term, definitive increase in breast size, augmentation is still the best option.
