How to Get Maximum Benefit from Breast Enlargement Herbs

Using herbs and foods for breast enlargement is really nothing new. The breast enhancing effects of herbs such as fenugreek and saw palmetto have been used in folk medicine for centuries. However, if you don't use herbs the right way, your body won't be able to absorb the active ingredients. That means you'll only see a fraction of the results you could be getting.

Here's how to get maximum benefit from breast enlargement herbs:

1) Take your herbs every eight hours or so.

Your breasts grow best when there is a steady stream of herbs in your system, so allow eight hours between doses. Take your first dose first thing in the morning, the second dose eight hours later in the middle of the day, and the final dose right before bed.

2) Take your herbs on an empty stomach.

Herbs are absorbed best on an empty stomach. For the best results, take your herbs either half an hour before or one hour after meals. However, if you find the herbs upset your stomach, it is better to take them with food.

3) Avoid taking herbs with caffeine or carbonated beverages.

Caffeine and carbonated beverages can interfere with herb absorption. Allow at least an hour in between taking your herbs and drinking coffee or a Coke.

There's no point in taking breast enlargement herbs and not getting the maximum benefit from them. Following these guidelines will ensure that the herbs you take will have the breast enhancing effects you're looking for.

If you have ever felt self-conscious about the size of your breasts, you are not alone. My book Natural Breast Enlargement: The Ultimate Guide to Bigger, Firmer Breasts reveals how you can increase your breast size completely naturally and without expensive, painful surgery.

In your blog "increase a cup size in 30 days" you mentioned two kinds of massage oils. Ylang Ylang oil with a base of almond oil and geranium oil. What's so special about these two kind of massage oil and if using them two particular kind would help a little more than not using it? Also, you mentioned to use 16 drops of Ylang Ylang oil and 9 drops of geranium oil. Is it every time or just the two times in a day? I am also guessing you mix them together?

ive been doing the massage for the past wk or so. I know tissues doesnt grow that fast but it seems like my breast is getting smaller than getting bigger and im doing what you told me in your "increase a cupsize in 30 days." Is that suppose to be normal?

Anonymous said...

if you take birth control pills, like I do, will it help a little more to improve the breast size or it will/will not help at all?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Breasts don't decrease in size if you're doing the massage correctly.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I wouldn't count on birth control pill helping to enlarge your breasts.

Anonymous said...

I know some people take the BCP and their breast gets bigger by a cup. Would taking BCP prevent some people breast from growing bigger even thought you massage it two times day?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I don't know that anyone has factored in the effect of birth control pills into natural breast enlargement. For one thing, birth control pills are not a natural remedy. They're powerful pharmaceutical drugs.

Anonymous said...

How much of each herb should I take? I know you say to take them three times a day, but what size should they be? Also, with the massage, should it be more focused around the nipple or more towards the outside of the breast? Oh and is it ok to do all the massaging at one time or does it need to be twice a day?

Anonymous said...

wat herb do you use and can you guarantee that it will work ?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Read my other natural breast enlargement articles about herbs. Guarantee results? Doctors don't guarantee results. Why should I? I don't know you and have no idea whether you would follow instructions or not.

HI there,i've been told that fenugreek extracts and fenugreek herbs are different, and extracts are more effective. if i use fenugreek seeds and massage with baby oil, and also consume the capsules, how long will it take to see the results since seeds are least effective? Thanks

Anonymous said...

I am taking all your advice and have seen a slightincrease in my cup size. My breasts are really quite tender, but I was thinking once my bust has increased in size is this growth permanent or will I have to keep taking the herbs to maintain the growth?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I would recommend continuing to take them, but cut back the frequency to every other day or so once you reach your desired size.

can the fenugreek extract 4 massage be made at home from fenugreek seeds/powder?

Anonymous said...

can u upload a pictorial video or some video on some dummy showing the correct way the massage has to be done?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

The description and diagram should be more than sufficient.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Yes, if you know how to make herbal extracts, you can make your own.

is it ok to take 3 fenugreek capsules and drinking 1 cup of fenugreek tea in a day? will it help for breast enlargmenet?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Yes, it will help. I would recommend adding breast massage.

Anonymous said...

i found the fenugreek capsules in a herbal shop but the women said its good for breastfeeding would this enlarge my breast also or there should be a different kind? its 100% fenugreek herbal capsules

Caitlin MacKenna said...

You have the right thing.

hi... i live in a arabic country i have heard that some are taking fenugreek oil first thing in the morning on empty stomache and you get to see the basic results in 2 weeks .... but i have not found any thing about it on the web is it true? .... what is more effective fenugreek oil, capsules or tea??

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I haven't heard of drinking fenugreek oil.

Anonymous said...

i have the liquid saw palmetto, since i have acid reflux i am a little edgy on taking it internally. will saw palmetto still be effective if i just rub it on my breasts?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I assume that you mean saw palmetto extract. You can rub it on your breasts if you don't want to take it internally. Saw palmetto can be quite effective, but it usually takes longer to work than fenugreek.

Anonymous said...

I've been taking 2 fenugreek capsules 3 times a day for a month already and don't see any changes in size yet. Am I taking too much? Should I reduce the amount?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Add breast massage and/or change herbs when you use up the fenugreek that you have.

Anonymous said...

If fenugreek and massaging doesn't work, which herb would you recommend me to try next?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Saw palmetto.

Anonymous said...

Just wondering if you have ever heard of pueraria mirifica for breast enlargement. From what I gather it is suppose to work well, and am curious about your thoughts on it.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I would recommend it after using other herbs as a change-of-pace.

Anonymous said...

hi, I was wondering if I have the right stuff here. I got fenugreek 610mg and the other ingredients are Gelatin, Silica and vegetable magnesium stearate, is this the right one?

Anonymous said...

Can u explain how to do the massage? or is there a web site that shows how?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

My article on breast massage gives instructions.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

It should be all right. The gelatin is the capsule.

Hi Caitlin, I'm Italian and I am using a translator to write. Sorry for the mistakes, I hope that my message will be understandable!
First of all, thanks for your numerous articles for natural breast enlargement! Your articles are very useful to understand how it works and I hope they do!

I'm using more than two months an album to enlarge the breasts, then I discovered your blog and started the massage. But initially I did not do it long enough..
My breasts are a little more large. Not big, but large. This is better than before! His appearance is improved, however.

But now I'm following your instructions for massage and as I do I think of positive affirmations.
I also started the capsules of Fenugreek and I have a question.
By reading this article I'm not sure if it's better to take it every 8 hours 3 times a day, or take it on an empty stomach half an hour before meals.
On the bottle it says 4 capsules in the day, according to you what time of day could be more effectively assume 2 together?

Thanks for your articles and answer our many questions! I'll let you know how it goes! :)

Caitlin MacKenna said...

It's great that you're getting noticeable results. Adding herbs will help. Before breakfast and before dinner would be the best times to take the fenugreek, so as to spread out the stimulation.

Anonymous said...

Thank you so much Caitlin, you're very kind :)

I hope to manage to achieve my goal. In Italy we don't have breast cup, we have breast size.. terrible ahahaha!! This is very limiting.
By the way, I've a little second, but I want a good third :D
I'll continue until I reach my goal!I must succeed! ;D

Thank you again!
Elena

Hi,,I bought the fenugreek capsules im not sure whether to take the powder out or take them like that ...id appreciate your advice...
Thank you so much

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Taking the capsules is more convenient.

Anonymous said...

Hi Caitlin, I started using Fenugreek and Wild Yam extract with lotion on my massage. But I don't know how many drops I should use each massage? How many drops is too much?
thank you!.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. You can gradually increase from there.

Anonymous said...

Hi. I was wondering if you have to avoid the nipple altogether or if you can touch it without massaging it. Also when you massage are you supposed to go into a smooth circle or kind of take the breast with you I guess. Sorry for the confusion. Will this make your breast rounder? Thanks so much I appreciate it!

Caitlin MacKenna said...

You just avoid the nipples because it doesn't help with natural breast enlargement to massage them.The pressure from your hand will probably move the breast somewhat.

Hi I'm K, I've followed the massage regime of "Increasing cup in 30 days" for around 3 weeks. I'm 21 wearing 32A cup padded bra (not completely filled yet). But i've noticed a small growth =). A week ago I bought fenugreek capsules. Each contain 1000 mg... I noticed that most capsules only contain 500 mg each. The recommended doses allow me to take 3 times per day. The bottle says it aids digestion and soothe irritation, but doesnt say anything about promoting breast growth or lactation. I do not want to stimulate lactation yet since im not pregnant. How many times per day should I take it?
Also regarding the massage, for each breast I start at the centre of my chest going downards and slowly massage towards my armpits (i.e left breast ->bottom of my breast ->left armpit), and make circular motion at the outer part of the breast. Is this the correct direction? and should i start near the nipples and make my way outwards or just leave out the inner area of the breasts? Thanks!
Sorry for long questions!

Caitlin MacKenna said...

No fenugreek manufacturer is going to say anything about breast growth because the FDA hardly allows any health claims for herbs or dietary supplements. You have to be an educated consumer. Take herbs 2-3 times daily.

You're making the breast massage incredibly complicated. Just massage in the proper direction.

Anonymous said...

I have read majority of your articles. I'm a mother of 4 and I am not sure if taking the Fenugreek pill will be a good idea for me. Now, if I used the fenugreek oil or extract just for the massage, is that going to cause my milk to come back or does that only happen if you ingest the pill? My youngest is 5 months old so should I wait to use the fenugreek for a little bit longer?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Yes, wait awhile.

Anonymous said...

Will using fenugreek extract make my breasts start to produce milk?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Not unless your nursing.

Anonymous said...

I just started taking 2xFenugreek seed capsules (610mg) 3 times a day and 1x saw palmetto (1800mg). I'd like to hasten the process by massaging. When you say massage with fenugreek, do you mean open the capsule and mix the powder with lotion?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

You can do that although extract blends better.

Hannah said...

Hi iv just started using fenugreek, my bust are an embarassing 30 A and i hate them. Iv chosen to submerge two tablespoon of fenugreek in a cup of water overnight and consuming the water in the morning. After 3 days i`ll change the fenugreek seeds and start with a new batch, and so on for a month.its only my 2nd day. The problem is, the water is bitter, could u please tell me how much fenugreek seeds i should grind and consume with water everyday, maybe a teaspoon or half a teaspoon?? I cannot find empty capsule cases here.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Start with a teaspoon each time and work up. You can add honey or other spices to improve the taste. That's what the extra ingredients in Bustea are for: to improve the taste.

can you take fenugreek with grean tea?

Pearla said...

Hi Caitlin, I stumbled on your articles a little over a week ago, and its a week today since I have been taking Fenugreek and Wild Yam capsules, alongside the breast massage and a few exercises, and I'm happy to say that I have noticed a small difference already!! Thank you so much, I already feel confident knowing I would have bigger boobs in a little while.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Yes, the tea won't hurt the fenugreek.

Hannah said...

Thanks caitlin! Do u know that when submerged in water fenugreek seeds seem to secrete a jelly like layer over themselves and the water becomes slightly foamy, is that safe to consume? Could you please suggest which method is more effective consuming the water or the powdered seeds?

Hannah said...

Thanks Caitlin! Which method is more effective, drinking the water or consuming fenugreek powder?

Robin said...

Hi! Thank you for all the information.
I have some questions.
Right now I have fennel and fenugreek powder. I know extracts are better and I will purchase them soon. Will using the powders be good for now? Should I just use one or is combining them better?
Making a tea with the powders using a tea bag effective? What is your suggestion on how long to steep and how much to drink.
Thank you so much.Trying to keep it simple and work with these powders. I plan to add maybe saw palmento and wild yam in the program but not unitil around three weeks.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I don't think there's a big difference.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Yes, the powdered herbs are just fine.

kika said...

Hi,

I've been drinking the tea and doing the massage for a week now and I'd swear I'm seeing some developments. The only trouble is the tea seems to be making me insatiably hungry and since I'm on a diet - hence the boob loss - the extra hunger just makes everything so much harder.
Would it have the same effect if I just did a very concentrated, thicker version of fenugreek tea and massaged that into my breast. I'm also not a fan of the maple syrup odour coming from my mucus membranes and sweat glands.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I don't know whether that would work as well or not.

jessicarr said...

Hey Caitlin, i was thinking about trying the fenugreek. You may have said this before many times. But what is the best way to use fenugreek? How much, how long, what mg? I think i would understand it more if you just told me exactly everything i need to do and what to get for the best results. Im sorry if you have to repeat yourself.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

My article "Natural Breast Enlargement with Fenugreek" discusses how to use fenugreek.

jessicarr said...

Would liquid fenugreek work better than the seeds or powder? If so how much liquid do i need to use at a time?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Extracts are stronger, so you would take less.

jessicarr said...

How much should i use?

jessicarr said...

What exactly is the extract? Liquid? Im not quite understanding cause when i look it up i get seeds, powder or liquid.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Start with the instructions on the bottle and build up from there.

Caitlin MacKenna said...

Herbs are soaked in alcohol to make extracts. This concentrates the herbs. The liquids are probably extracts.

A dose of fenugreek seeds is about a teaspoon. Just spread out your intake throughout the day.

What happens when u stop massaging them with it do they get small and sag again? I plan to use saw palmetto extract to massage them to make em firm hopefully, Since it takes awhile to work figured It'd help my breast tissue to fill out some at least?

Caitlin MacKenna said...

I published an article about how to make your gains permanent. Basically, you need to continue your program for awhile after reaching your goal.

Thanks for yout help! Also,do u know of like a "light" way to do this(certain herbal oil) that won't make them grow too much? My breasts are hollow some now after being pregnant and my milk ducts shrinking and i'm just concerned about filling that back up only you know!

If your breasts grow too much, you can back off or stop your breast enlargement program.
