Many women want to have larger breasts, and cosmetic surgery is frequently prohibitively expensive or inconvenient. Although natural methods can not provide the degree of shaping and enlargement caused by cosmetic surgery, several home techniques may improve bust size in some women. If you are interested in using any natural remedies to increase your breast size, consult your physician about the potential benefits and risks. Understand that some natural methods can cause unanticipated side effects and drug interactions.
Weight Gain
Because breasts are composed almost entirely of fat, weight gain is the most reliable natural method for improving bust size. If you are thin or underweight, a healthy high-calorie diet may enable you to gain weight and enhance your bust size. Consider eating a diet rich in nuts, beans, whole grains and cheese. These can offer a healthy increase in calories without the negative effects associated with trans fats and refined sugar. Avoid heavily processed foods.
Herbal Supplements
Several herbal supplements may increase breast size by mimicking the hormonal conditions associated with pregnancy and nursing. According to the National Institutes of Health, licorice root supplements provide an increase in levels of the hormones estrogen and prolactin, which may increase bust size. Fennel and anise are natural herbs similar in taste and odor to licorice; they share a common medicinal compound known as anethole. Despite these herbs' long-standing reputation for safety, it is important to consult a physician about the potential side effects and risks.
High-Soy Diet
The soybean, one of the world's most important crops, offers a variety of health benefits. In addition to its potential use as a cholesterol-lowering agent and a cancer preventative, soy may increase breast size in women. Although the NIH acknowledges this medicinal use for soy, the organization regards this use as theoretical; no studies have evaluated its effectiveness. Soy might increase breast size because of its naturally-occurring isoflavones, which are plant-based compounds chemically similar to estrogen. These are found in their highest concentraton in unprocessed soy foods like edamame, tofu and soy milk. Processed soy "meats" and "cheeses" contain little or no isoflavones, according to the NIH.
