will have the breast enlarging effect on a non nursing mother is unknown.
Saw Palmetto has also been associated with enlargement of breast tissue because of its Estrogen like effects and
actions. Although traditionally it was never used by the Florida Indian tribes for this use, it was a food crop to them.
Blessed Thistle was used in Europe and England for young girls who were late bloomers and had not entered puberty
at the correct age. The girl after consuming the herb experienced the normal course of events leading to their first
menses which is enlargement of breast tissue and pubic hair. Whether this herb will work once a women has already
gone through puberty is hypothetical, for some women this herb will swell the breast but this may be more a short term
uncomfortable effect then truly a long-term enhancement.
All I can tell you is if you wish to try herbs for this don't be disappointed if they do not work.

MORE ON BREAST ENLARGEMENT
QUESTION: I noticed that you have some very strong feelings about women wanting to enlarge there breasts. I am
25 yrs old and was a very late bloomer. I married at 18 yrs and gave birth to my daughter at 19. My problem and
question is that when I became pregnant I was not finished puberty, My breast were still growing and when I became
pregnant I went from a size A cup to a double D. I now have saggy old lady breasts with stretch marks that I find not
only embarrassing but have left me feeling totally ashamed of my body. My husband has never complained but he is a
kind man and knows how much this problem bothers me. I have tried vitamin e oil for the scars but they are too deep
and I have tried bust exercises as well. I do not desire bigger breasts at all but I do desire firmer breasts ....even just a
little lift would suffice. Is there anything that can be done? I am still a younger women and I have never been able to
enjoy youthful breasts. What would you advise?
ANSWER: I am not sure I can help. Here is the information I can provide:
My first thought is to enhance your breasts from sagging with support devices. Talk to a specialist that deals with
breast issues, look for a breast center. They can advise on clothing, swimwear and bras to wear to enhance your look.
Thank you for providing as much information as you have and reading my other answers online. Plastic surgery for
breast enhancement is not my idea as necessary surgery, but always the choice is with the individual. The process
the female breast goes through during pregnancy and post delivery during milk production, stretches the tissue,
muscle, ligaments and skin around the breast usually past their elastic range. Which means they cannot return to their
normal size, the rubber band is weakened and nearly broken. Many women chose surgery to correct these conditions,
I am not sure there is a natural product that could help return this tissue to its original shape and size. Surgery of any
kind is risky, cosmetic surgery is your chose to make. Although not natural, it can give many women the result they
desire to produce a breast of correct size and shape. You sound like an intelligent women, research your options,
decide on the risks, interview as many surgeons as you can, ask for references, talk about complications. Cosmetic
surgery on the breast usually interrupts the ability to provide milk to infants, if you are planning on having more
children and breast feeding (the best thing for the child) wait until you have your last one to move on this idea.
I have found some stretch mark herbal remedies see the following. I don't have first hand knowledge of their use and
results but respect the source I found them in.
Neroli essential oil is made from orange blossoms and is said to help with stretch marks and scarring when applied to
the skin because it is suppose to stimulate new cell growth to help fill in the skin. Apply to affected are two to three
times a day. Almost all essential oils including this one, need diluted in a carrier oil, look for an aromatherapy or
essential oil book for more information. A good health or herbal store in your area should be able to advise on use and
products.
Here is a recipe for an Anti-Stretchmark Oil: 3 drops each of frankincense and myrrh essential oil; 6 drops of lavender
essential oil; 4 drops of geranium essential oil; 2 fl oz of Calendula Carrier Oil. Apply to affected areas morning and
night
One more thought, I can't stop myself from getting on my soap box. Your husband has no complaints and he is the
one that loves you including your breasts, why would you want to change yourself, you on the inside is the one that he
loves? And apparently he loves the way you look also (ask him)
I would ask myself who else do I need to impress with perky breasts? My answer would be only my husband. Just a
thought!
additional answer: I recently came across this herbal remedy thought you might be interested in it. It involves the
use of Lady's Mantle, Latin Named: Alchemilla vulgaris
"The leaves are accounted good for lank sagging breasts, to bring them to a greater firmness and smaller compass."
According to the Colonial Dames of America.
