As for lactating, there is that correlation with lowering estrogen and progesterone. I believe oxytocin plays a role too. As long as the corpus luteum is still around, which is during the luteal phase, prolactin levels usually boost progesterone.
Aromatase is one way to lower androgens. Topical lavender and topical tea tree diluted in carrier oil may do a lot for the breast, which is one place where adipose tissue converts androgens into estrogens. There's also ingestible peony, which is an aromatase. There is a concern about too much estrogen and not enough progesterone. It's important to cycle or increase prolactin, progesterone and estrogen together, along with the right balance of vitamins and minerals.
There are many anti-reductase (anti-alpha-reductase) herbs. anti-alpha-reuctases lower the dehydro versions of hormones like progesterone or testosterone (DHT). Topical anti-alpha-reductases are a good choice.
Winter Squash (including butternut squash, pumpkin) seeds and their oils lower DHT. It can be anything (edible) from Cucurbita, it doesn't have to be limited to pumpkin seed.
Lotus pointed out that there are lots of fruits and oils from the palm tree family that reduce DHT.
Red reishi is an anti-reductase.
Anti-alpha-reductases (including anti-dht's) can be searched on the internet.
During the luteal phase, progesterone cream and bovine ovary can be simply replaced with a prolactin herb,and this can be improved upon with adding fenugreek. Outside of the luteal phase, fenugreek can act as progesterone, but prolactins can't.
