Try to infuse your oil with some herbs and EOs(particularly lavender, chamomile and patchouli oils can all help) to help reduce the appearance of the stretch marks, as Castor oil alone has shown not to help that greatly with improving them. Also you may want to change your dong quai to a better quality one that consists of the oil too, as most brands dispose of this and in TCM it is considered a vital component, I'd suggest the brand Imperial Elixir Dong Quai which is an extract(so stronger in one capsule than regular dong quai dosages) and has the oil added back in, either way dong quai is such a wonderful herb and I'm sure you will start to feel the mood benefits of it! Also if I were you I'd save my money and buy those herbs individually as the menopause capsule combinations tend to have really low dosages of each herb, if you buy red clover in a tincture I'm sure you will have even more great growth just make sure it's 1:1 ratio for best potencyalso I would suggest a progesterone(USP grade) cream if you are looking for outward growth rather than projection, but do keep in mind it's actually physically impossible most of the time to get rid of tuberous deformity unless the bands are surgically cut as Fertility queen proved and had to do and she had mild tuberous too.
Thank you for all the advice! I use castor oil primarily because I know it can help lessen stuff like cysts and other similar things in other parts of the body (and iirc a contributor to tuberous deformity is a collagen ring forming around the breast). I admit in my case it simply seems like my body didn't go through puberty properly more than anything but hey! It has helped a bit with skin tightness in my case anyhow, so I can't complain. I'm actually alright with the stretch marks, but I was wondering if EOs in the massage oil you use could help with other things (like speeding up growth or making the skin look better)? I know some people also use rosehip because it apparently tightens the skin, but perhaps I'm misremembering. I had no idea about dong quai and its oil, thank you for telling me this especially. If it wouldn't be too much of a bother, do you have any recommendations for getting to know more TCM for breast growth specifically? Books, videos, blogs - anything you feel like sharing, if anything at all. It's hard finding reliable info for TCM in general, unfortunately. I'll be honest, I have yet to settle on an appropriate dosage with some of my supplements which is why I bought the menopause pills, I want to take it easy at first but you saying this just confirmed my suspicions regarding them.
It may be physically impossible to rid myself of the deformity but it's honestly mild and I have gained a decent amount of volume up top already, so they don't look nearly as bad as they did before I started with NBE. Not sure if it's a myth but I've heard strengthening your pectoral muscles helps with sag also, which is a thing I'll be doing soon.
Thank you again for chiming in, your posts are very helpful!

I really need to get back to massaging... I'm still getting a ton of pain and itchiness but it is noticeably less so than when I stick to my "massage twice daily" routine. On a happier note: I finally got a full cup 32G bra from M&S and it fits me like a glove
