Hi, If you had any experience with those natural herb based breast enhancement pills/cream, can you please share your thoughts here? I have researched around and found Grobust, NaturalCurves, and NewCurves mentioned a few times. Do they really work? If you have used them before, what size increase did you get (realistically)? I'm 24, very thin, and extremely flat (3 inches smaller than an A cup ;[), am I hopeless without plastic? I would appreciate any info before I go spend the money. I certainly do want to waste hundreds of dollors. Thank you! IP: Logged |

Hi there! As we speak, I am trying another brand of boob growing pills! I am almost at the end of my 3 month supply, and nothing is happening. I had some swelling in the first couple of weeks, and that was it. Growbust, and I can't remember the ones I tried last time. I say, don't waste your $$! Good luck whatever you decide. IP: Logged |

OK here goes. I know exactly how you feel! I have been seriously looking into to surgical enhancement seriously, but have wondered about these pills and creams. I was on a Plastic Surgery night this afternoon when i came across what i was looking for. One lady posted that in her experiance, they did result in a small amount of enhancement, but if you didnt keep on using the product, the results went away. Another however posted that she researched and found that the major herbs in most these enhancement products were the same. She went out and bought these at a health food store, and took them with water. She noticed and differance in firmness after a week, and after a month she reports that she is noticing a huge differance in breast size, more than she ever expected. I plan on trying this. The herbs are fennel seed fenugreek saw palmetto wild yam root she bought them in tincture form ( the bottles with the little droppers), they were about $40 all together and her recipe was to use a full dropper of each herb in a small glass of warm water, every day. It sounds like a good idea to me! If you want to read to origional posts, go to Cosmetic surgery on the home page of healthboards.com, and then go to page 2, then you will see the message about the natural breast enhancers. Good luck, let me know if you have any results! IP: Logged |

I don't know anything about herbs but my father in law(!) was telling me about a new bra that pulls out breasts gradually. If this is kept up the cells eventually engorge with fat and blood and the breasts stay permenantly enlarged. It is going on sale in the States so should be available to you. Apparently the breasts will groew at least one cup size. ------------------ IP: Logged |

That bra that she is talking about is called the Brava system. You can only get it through licensed plastic surgeons and it is half the cost of BA surgury. they gaurantee at least one cup size growth and it is available right now from select surgoens. They have a website that you can find a surgeon in your area. Seach for it with any search engine and you should be able to find it. Good luck [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 11-18-2001).] IP: Logged |

grobust is worthless. From what I learned, all those product contains uselss ingredients. The product I am using now is called SBS. I am using it for a week now and I can feel that my breast getting firmer. It felt a little bit painful as well, like those you have during puberty. I was really elated. Hopefully it will increase my breast size 32B. Mine is only 30A. [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 07-23-2001).] IP: Logged |

This may be inappropriate or even old-fashioned, but it's no secret that going on birth control pills will increase your breast size, firmness and fullness. These breast herbs are nothing but a scam to me. They are preying on the millions of women out there who are unhappy with their breast size. Just like all of the diet pills out there that don't work neither do these so called "formulas". For all you know those capsules could be filled with sugar and food coloring. They are selling you a dream. Don't buy it! Don't waste your money and save yourself the heartache. If you want breasts like Anna Nicole Smith surgery is the only option. But to give yourself a little boost go on the pill. Your breasts normally swell up and increase in size before you start your cycle. On the pill they just stay that way and depending on the dosage of estrogen present, they can really swell up. It's true. But take it or leave it...

unfortunately every person is different and just because one thing works for one person doesnt mean it will work for you. personally i feel that if you try one product and it doesnt work... theres a good chance none of the products will work. they are all very similar in ingredients and you could be wasting your money by trying different products. fortunately i live in an area of the country that plastic surgery is much cheaper and almost anyone can get financed with little down. im planning on having rhinoplasty within the next year and then i will think about breast augmentaion.

Hi There I have tried Bloussant from worldquest. It worked for me. I saw 1 cup of breast size increase. It did make me gain weight too. So if you don't mind gaining a little weight here and there, you can try it. IP: Logged |

Ok so I just checked this brava bra thing out. It's actually quite cool. What it is are two plastic "domes"...which in reality or large suction cups you place over your boobs. Then, through the use of a small pump, the air is sucked out which then appears to aid in new cell growth. I think I'll let it get researched for a few more years before I decide to commit...but if it works, it sounds awesome! [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 11-18-2001).] IP: Logged |

Hi everyone, The herbal breast enhancement pills do work for many women, however, they do not work for everyone. The reason being that everyone has a different metabolism. All the various breast enhancement brands contain basically the same ingredients, the main ones being saw palmetto, damiana, dong quai, fenugreek and wild yam. Wild yam is called a natural progesterone and is what most birth control pills are made from. The herbs used in these breast enhancement pills do in fact stimulate the production of certain hormones which are released during puberty and do cause the breasts to enlarge in many cases, but, once again, not all cases. If the company selling the pills is reliable they will give you a complete refund if you don't see results. Those who don't see results have not taken the pills consistently or use caffeine which completely voids out the effects of the herbs. Remember most soft drinks have caffeine, as does chocolate. When used correctly, these herbal alternatives to breast surgury are far safer and less expensive. In my opinion, the pills are worth a try if your willing to take them consistenly for 3 months and can give up caffeine. Don't take the pills that are made from bovine placenta. Although they may work much better, the risk of mad cow disease is very high since the bovine (cow) placenta is obtained from dead cows. IP: Logged |

I would suggest just buying the herbs and not one of those expensive supplements marketed as a breast enhancement system. You have a bit more control over what you are putting in your body by getting the individual herbs yourself...not to mention you will save $$. IP: Logged |

I am always amazed when I look up this topic on a message board and see the messages posted by people who adamantly reject the idea that breasts can be enlarged by nutritional means. Who are these people, plastic surgeons afraid of losing their livelihoods? Do they have any experience with this sort of thing? This is not to say that there aren't some scams out there; companies putting together complicated magical formulas and charging horrendous prices for them. But this is nothing new in the "all natural" herbal formula arena. But the idea of herbal breast enhancement is really nothing new. Rumors of harem girls being fed fenugreek to increase breast size have been floating around herbal circles for hundreds of years; the buxom nature of the girls of Bavaria have often been attributed to the hops and barley content of the local beers; and the college girls of the early 20th century recalled in song an herbal remedy (Lydia Pinkham's formula) that helped them "fill out their sweaters." The most recent reference to herbal breast enhancement from a reliable source was in the book "The Green Pharmacy" by Dr. James Duke, a former herbal researcher for the FDA. Anyone interested in this process should have a look at this book. The process can work well with the correct herbs in the right amounts. Just don't make the mistake that some "magic formula" pill will work. [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 10-22-2001).] IP: Logged |

Can anyone answer a ? for me. I have a basic understanding of the herbs that are used in these breast enhancement formulas (fennel, fenugreek, wild yam, saw palmetto). My ? is does one absolutly have to give up all caffeine for these to work? I would especially like to hear from Toonces. IP: Logged |

I didn't give up caffeine while taking the herbs, and they seemed to work fine for me. I think the main thing to be successful when taking any herbal supplement is being consistent. I took the herbs everyday at the same time. I've heard that caffeine lessens the effect of herbal supplements, but I've never been willing to give up my morning coffee. IP: Logged |

Like most folks, I was a bit skeptical about herbs enlarging breasts. So, I read volumes about herbs and decided to give some inexpensive ones a try. I started with three: fenugreek, saw palmetto, and wild yam. After that, I ran across an inexpensive combination capsule that sounded promising and added that to the mix. I've been off the single herb mix for about a week and decided to reorder those, adding fennel to the three basic I'd used before. I'll probably discontinue the combination capsules when my 90-day supply runs out. So far, I've gained about a cup size in almost 60 days. Size of course varies depending on the time of the month since breasts naturally expand and contract cyclically. Likewise, growth appears to be cyclic rather than steady. Anyway, I wouldn't term it all a "miracle," but there may be some promise to the herbal notion of breast enlargement. By the way, I still have my usual heavy dose of caffeine in the morning -- my bod just won't move without it. [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 11-18-2001).] IP: Logged |

There are a whole host of these products around, and more seem to be cropping up every day. Prices and claims vary wildly. Bear in mind that the information is in no way scientific, and should be treated as anecdotal (everyone is certainly different, and there are no rational guarantees that a particular product works 100% of the time). You should make your own decisions about if you want to give herbal supplements a try before taking the more drastic route of augmentation surgery (which obviously has far more significant risks than taking herbs). By the way, if "Dolly Parton boobs" overnight are what you want, you can be pretty sure herbs won't do it... [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 11-18-2001).] IP: Logged |

On the herbs and weight gain issue... I gained about 5 pounds, which in my case was a plus because I actually wanted to gain a little weight. (I also use a high-calorie diet supplement, so that contributed to the weight gain too.) The nice part is that the weight went to exactly the right spots (lucky, I guess). Not only did my breasts firm up, lift, and expand a bit, but my butt did exactly the same. I still wear size 6 slacks, and now the back end is filled out better... No more baggy butt jeans! If you watch your diet, I don't think the herbs will cause a huge amount of weight gain. I recommend the four key herbs (fenugreek, wild yam, saw palmetto, and fennel) rather than the more expensive and sometimes exotic herbal formulas. Soy and grain herbs (wild oats, etc.) are supposed to have more of a weight gain issue associated with them. IP: Logged |

I'm a bit skeptical that herbs will actually increase my breast size. But I'm willing to try them and see. They definitely are a low cost alternative to surgery. One bottle of each of the four herbs mentioned in previous messages only cost $30 for the four. I just hope they don't affect the birth control pill, and that they aren't harmful. For everyone that's tried these herbs and they worked, how long was it before you started to see any results? IP: Logged |

I have spent tons of time pouring over every inch of info on breast growing or breast implants that I have been able to find. I am a 34aa. Barely a cup. Your safest and most guaranteed bet seems to be the Brava Bra. It will cost $2500.00 which includes the doctor's fees and all. I am thinking of making an appointment for next week. The only problem is that this product does not come with a guarantee. Though all the doctors that I have talked to have sworn by it. Also, reputable media sources have been covering it. I wonder if that is too much money to spend to grow only another cup? I started yesterday with the Tincture of herbs of Saw Palmetto, Wild Yam, Fenugreek, and fennel. I must warn that I have read that More than a tsp of Fennel a day can be toxic. I also read that you can make a paste with vegetable oil and freshly ground fenugreek seeds. You are supposed to apply it topically on your breasts and massage it in. It's pretty messy, so I wrap myself in saran wrap (just like a spa) throw a sports bra over and go about my day. I will keep you posted on my progress!! [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 12-13-2001).] IP: Logged |

I ordered the capsules, not the tinctures. The tinctures just seemed like too much trouble. I also am not going to make a paste and smear it on me. Also, too much trouble. I guess I'm not all that committed to trying to increase my breast size, but I thought I would try taking the herbs and see what happens. I wonder how many capsules of fennel I can take a day without having toxic effects. Keep me informed as to your progress, and I'll let you know if my way works. IP: Logged |

I didn't include Fennel, and I got results. I also used a wild yam cream on my chest. My research came up with Fenugreek, Saw Palmetto, and Wild Yam as the main herbs to truly work. For a while I also included Dong Quai...but there is mixed reviews as to whether Dong Quai actually helps. Definitely didn't hurt. IP: Logged |

On the subject of breast supplements, I have tried greenbush with no results. Then I tried Bloussant (quite expensive) for 3 1/2 month with no results but I did gain about 5 pounds which I really didn't like. Luckily, Bloussant does offer a money back guarantee. Be careful, because some of the companies marketing breast supplements do not offer your money back. IP: Logged |

I just recently ordered some from SBS. It worked out to be less than $40/month, so better than getting all the herbs myself, especially since it includes a tea and a lotion as well (and also has a money back guarantee, which I couldn't get making my own concoction)... if I'd waited a few days I could've gotten an even better deal since they now have a New Year's special going. I'm really hoping this works, I was very happy with my A cup breasts, but after having and nursing two kiddums I'm up to a B cup although I think the skin is wanting to be a C, if that makes sense. I'd rather just go back to my A breasts, but that can't happen without surgery so I'm hoping that these pills will give me back at least some of my old perkiness (I always thought being so small I'd never have to worry about sagging breast... haha on me!). I haven't started yet, but I will definitely let everyone know if I have any success or not when I do start. IP: Logged |

Well, I've been taking the capsules for a week now, and no results yet. I know it's probably too soon to notice any change, but I just wanted to give an anyone who is interested a progress report. I am taking two capsules per day of wild yam, fennel, saw palmetto, and fennugreek. I don't know if 2 capsules per day is a large enough dosage, but I don't want to overdo it, since nobody seems to know if high dosages are toxic. If anyone else who has just started the herbs has had any increase in breast size, please let me know. IP: Logged |

I don't know what the right amount would be (just one of many reasons I opted to go with a product that was already made for me)... the pills I have have 600mg in two pills but I don't know what percentage of what that is and I take those three times a day along with a lotion and a tea. I think the important thing though is that you want to have the herbs constantly in your system so you might want to spread out those pills you are taking -instead of taking one dose a day, take one in the morning and one just before you go to bed and one in between. I'm not sure how much difference it would make for results but I heard the herbs only last about 5 or 6hrs in your system ... ??? I'm on day 3 and nothing so far (not that I was expecting anything yet), but my breasts are starting to feel a bit tender (like early pregnancy) so *something* must be happening.... IP: Logged |

I have been following a friend of mine's breast enhancement system for about 6 months now. Although I haven't been totally constant in all that his system calls for, I HAVE seen an increase in both breast size, fullness and firmness, as well as a silkiness to my skin that must be felt to believe. He uses 7 herbs and magnets. I haven't seen his system anywhere else. As far as I can tell, it's completely his own design. His method calls for both ingesting herbs and an herbal massage, as well as other things. I do not know if it will work for other women. I, myself, was a mess hormonally when I began this treatment. I went from a fairly large chest to almost flat (with almost no feeling in my breasts) to about half-way to where I used to be and I'm ecstatic! I'm still plugging away and I daily notice both a soreness in the breast tissue (which, to me, means they are growing) and also a firmness that is unlike anything I've ever felt! Every so often, (every couple of days or so), I do a double take in the mirror, 'cause it seems that my breasts have increased in size. My right breast is still smaller than my left one, though he says they'll even out by massaging the smaller one more than the larger one. I no longer wear bras. I no longer need to. My breasts are always perky, though still not as large as they used to be. But my hormones seem to have stablized now and I'm hopeful that with a normal system, that my breasts will kick into overdrive and grow. He's got a website here: It has his whole system detailed for all the world to see. I'm curious, has anybody else followed a program like the one above with success? {sorry, please don't post websites that promote and link to products, [This message has been edited by moderator3 (edited 01-26-2002).] IP: Logged |

Well if any of the breast enhancement products work this should certainly work... pretty much the same thing as what I've got and am doing only adding the magnets and the cayenne pepper and the pascalite breast mask. How much does it end up costing for a month's worth of all the herbs, do you know? I tried to figure it out but I just don't know how many teaspoons of the herbs you'd get from an ounce. What I'm using cost me about $38/mo including shipping and if I had waited a week to order it would've only been about $34. I like having everything already done for me, I think I would be too lazy to always magnetize the water and to make up the paste myself. I think this website seems wonderful though... if I find that what I'm using right now works I'll definitely be sharing that site with everyone I know since it's basically the same thing only more. Glad to hear it's worked so well for you so far! ...and thank you so much for sharing it here! IP: Logged |

Hi pepilata-- I visited your friend's site. The only thing different in his "method" is the mask, magnets, and Damiana. All of which don't really seem totally necessary. The lemonade he says to use is from the Master Cleanse...its a pretty well-known fasting formula to help clean out your system. I'm not sure how this portion of his system will really help without using it as a fast, but it can't hurt I suppose. Damiana has a reputation as an aphrodisiac, but isn't regarded as viable of an herb as the other herbs listed on his site. It also may have a mild sedative effect. I don't know that I would feel completely comfortable taking this herb. I don't think anyone has to put forth the amount of effort that it would take using his system. All you really needs is the herbs. Making or buying a cream with the herbs to use topically does help (massage). I'm going to start up the herbs again in about a month or so. What worked for me before was Fenugreek, Saw Palmetto, and Wild Yam. Part of the time I used Dong Quai. I also used a Wild Yam cream. I'm thinking about purchasing a Fenugreek powder to make a lotion instead this time. A lot of people recommend Fennel, which seems to have the similar effects as Fenugreek. I never used it though. The way I look at this is... as long as I don't invest too much time and money, what will it hurt. The herbs that I take are very safe and tend to have other benefits. I felt really good when I was taking them before. I would recommend any woman trying this if they are self-conscience about their breasts. Definitely buy your own herbs rather than buying a formula for breast growth. It will probably be less expensive, and you will have full control over what you are putting into your body. I hope to see others experiences taking the herbs posted here and hearing what you are using. IP: Logged |

I haven't had any results as of yet. I've been taking the herbs since December 26. Oh well, only $30 down the drain if it doesn't work. Also, I'm not taking a huge dose of the herbs since I don't know how they interact with the birth control pill. I am only taking two capsules of the 4 herbs per day. I'm sure I will see results much more slowly because of that, but I don't want to be pregnant as a result of these herbs making the pill not effective. Does anyone on here know if these the herbs interact negatively with the pill? IP: Logged |

How many millegrams of the saw palmetto, wild yam, and fenugreek should one take a day? In the few previous posts, I've read about the birth control pill not working when you take pills... would that be the super expensive marketed to breast enlarging, or the herbs, or both??? IP: Logged |

Well, it seems that the herbs didn't affect the pill. I got my period as usual this week. I'm going to start increasing the dosage of herbs I take starting today. I was taking ~500 mg of each herb, I'm going to start taking 1000 mg and see if that makes a difference. Also, in reply to mms, I bought each herb separately and have been taking 2 capsules of each per day. It's much cheaper that way. I only paid $30 total for 100 capsules of fennel, fennugreek, saw palmetto, and wild yam. The very expensive breast enhancement pills like Bloussant have these herbs or most of these herbs in them.

Thanks for the info! I will try this method because I am just getting older, and I miss the breasts that I used to have! I think back to 18, 21, 24, 27.... and can only say that this aging thing is happening way too fast for me!!! If I could just take the breasts back to 5 years ago... I would be very glad.
