Herbs for NBE also for inducing lactation!
February 20 2008 at 9:14 PM Anna (no login)
I was just wondering if those of you taking herbal supplements for breast enlargement realize how closely the breast enlargement result is related to putting your breasts into a pre-lactation stage? This is why without a doubt the herbs do work! They are galactogogues, which essentially are going to make your breasts "grow" as they would in preparation to support lactation. Their effects make certain hormonal things happen within you that would normally be responsible for assisting in lactation. Of course, for regular or full-on lactation more factors are involved! Even massaging stimulates the interior lobes of the breast that are involved in lactation. It really is all very closely related. I wish to remain anonymous but I am currently working on inducing lactation to be able to breast feed an adopted baby, so although I've been here previously for NBE, while I've researched inducing lactation I've learned that the same main herbs are suggested for inducing lactation and for increasing milk supply as are suggested for NBE.

Yup I knew about this... not sure how many new people to NBE know it though. Good luck with breast feeding and your new baby!

This is a good website about breast feeding and parenting. It also has an extensive list of all known galactagogues.

Galactogogues are often a part of a herbal routine, and seem to do the trick quite well (WU is a 'galactogogic' product), but estrogenic herbs are also necessary and many people recquire androgen blockers as well. There are some NBE methods that are based on inducing lactation, such as GY.

wait, so if the breasts grow because it is in pre-lactation stage, aren't you supposed to have that milk out of your breasts? I mean I thought that's how it works with mothers, that's why they "have" to breast feed their babies? I'm confused. Can someone please explain further?

No you aren't supposed to have milk come out though because they aren't actually getting to the point of lactating, just enough of the pre-stages to wake things up in there I suppose. Hope this helps dprincess

During the 9 months you're pregnant your boobs grow about a cup size (sometimes more) in preparation for having the capability to lactate, of course then it takes the whole nursing act to actually get that happening, but the herbs we take for NBE do essentially is the same thing that happens over that pregnancy stage when the boobs are changing. Massages help as well because we're further stimulating the "lobes" in the breast. It's ironic that some here had such adverse reaction to the Grow Yours program because it's itinerary is to put your boobs into the state that pregnancy ends up putting them into due to the hormonal changes, but our herbs and massages really do the same thing. We're about a few weeks of scheduled frequent nipple stimulation away from actually being able to produce breast milk! And that's fine, but that's why our boobs are growing gals!

It actually had occurred to me that herbs I've seen recommended for breast growth were ones I'd heard of as galactogogues, i.e. fenugreek, goat's rue, fennel, alfalfa, hops, blessed thistle, borage, red raspberry and chasteberry.
