Not every woman is happy with her bust. A bigger bust is often appealing to most women and men, which means that there can be self-consciousness when it comes to women with smaller breasts. Breast augmentation can be frowned upon, it’s expensive, and can cause problems later in life. Besides a list of reasons not to get breast implants, there are natural ways to increase your cup size or perk up the girls, as it were. Here are a few ways you can boost your bust.
1. Exercise
There are several exercises you can do to increase the size of your breasts. Leave the push-up bras and padding at home and get to work on pectoral exercises. The pectoral muscles are like any other muscle in that they will enlarge with a little work. Most women rarely train their chest, so exercising the pectorals will add a little oomph to your chest. Exercises that you can do include push-ups, bench presses, incline bench presses, and dumbbell flies. You don’t want to use weights that are too light or heavy, but you should be able to do a few more reps after finishing a set. It’s also integral to properly engage your pectoral muscles for that desired fullness. If you are using the wrong muscle groups then don’t expect an increased cup size. Don’t overdo these exercises because you may lose fat that makes up your breasts.
2. Massage
A 20-30 minute breast massage every day could help you grow one cup size in a month. Breast massage does two things: increases circulation and increases prolactin production. The former allows phytoestrogens better flow to your breasts, which means breast receptors are getting what they need to grow. Prolactin is a breast-enlarging hormone that is triggered by frequent breast and nipple stimulation. Massage your breasts in a circular motion 100-300 times in the morning and at night before bed. This type of massage belongs to the Taoist Female Deer Exercise, a group of exercises that promotes sexual health, women’s vitality, and pleasure. A great oil mixture to use is 9 drops of geranium oil, 16 drops of Ylang Ylang oil, and a base of 50ml of almond oil. We also have a natural breast oil that can help nourish and tone your breasts. Since this massage increases blood flow to your breasts, a good side effect is that your menstrual flow will reduce during your period.
3. The Foods You Eat
The foods you eat can have an effect on the size of your bust. Foods that are high in estrogen and phytoestrogen can help increase the estrogen hormone that promotes breast growth. You can eat apples, cherries, plums, raw almonds and cashews, beets, carrots, cucumbers, flaxseed, fenugreek, garlic, parsley, clover, cumin, and fennel seeds. Additionally, you can eat goat rue, licorice root, and marshmallow root, but check to see if these foods are acceptable for your diet if you are taking medication. Of that list of foods, flaxseed has been known to increase breast tissue. There are also other herbs like dandelion root or saw palmetto, which promote breast growth. A proper diet rich in these herbs and anti-inflammatory foods can increase proper gland function, aid digestion, and promote sexual desire, all of which can help breasts enlarge normally.
It’s important to be patient when trying to naturally grow your breasts. They won’t increase a cup size overnight; life unfortunately doesn’t work that way. Using these natural methods, however, can help give you a fuller, more enhanced bust that will employ a newfound confidence you never knew you had. Let us know how these techniques work for you.
