Each and every organ of our body is prone to daily wear and tear. Therefore, we should take proper care of our body organs. Breasts are like any other part of our body, and therefore prone to wear and tear, toxins and other related problems.

Breasts lose their tone and texture with age. This generally happens during the middle age. However, there are several ways today through which a woman can have healthy breasts at any given age.

Composition

To understand how to make breasts firmer and healthier, we should first understand what breasts are made up of. The female breast is made up of a collection of fatty tissue – the adipose tissue. This tissue is collected under the skin of the breast.

This fatty tissue is held in place with the Cooper’s ligaments. Among the adipose tissues is the milk producing glands called the lobules. These lobules are connected to the outside of the breast by means of the milk ducts.

The nipple is the terminal point of the breast from the outside. The nipples receive all the milk from lobules. The circular dark area around the nipples is called the areola. The areola contains the sweat producing glands of the body.

The internal structure of the breast flops down as age advances. The Cooper ligaments become weak with age and lose their firmness. This results in the breasts losing their firmness. When the Cooper ligaments dawdle, the adipose tissue loses its firmness and begins to flag.

Breast firming products

Women have been in the pursuit for healthy breasts since time immemorial. Therefore, there are many breast enhancing products available in the market. Breast firming products are available in various forms, like creams, pills, lotions and sprays.

Most of these products contain herbal ingredients, which stimulate the growth of breast tissue. This helps in maintaining the rigidity of the breasts.

Some of the best herbal products for firm breasts, as found in the ancient books of the Ayurveda are:

1. Dandelion Root

2. Soy

3. Pueraria mirifica

4. Trigonella foenam-graecum or fenugreek

5. Withania somnifera or Indian ginseng or ashwaganda

6. fenugreek

These ingredients have been used traditionally to bring about firmness in the breasts. However, medical science doesn’t fully agree with the uses of these ingredients. Clinical tests haven’t come up with proper results regarding these ingredients. These herbs are claimed to contain plant estrogens, called as phytoestrogens, which stimulate the growth of breast tissue. However, doctors disapprove of introducing an ‘artificial’ hormone into the body as it may tamper with the actual biological hormonal constitution of the body and cause more harm than benefit.

Critics also say that breast enhancing creams, lotions and sprays contain nothing else but moisturizing agents, which add moisture to the breasts and therefore make them look younger and healthier. However, there are genuine companies which do a lot of research on breast enhancement techniques.

Breast Pumps

Breast pumps are another method of enhancing breast size. The concept used is the same which is used to remove excess milk from the breasts of a lactating mother; however, these pumps are different in shape and structure.

Breast pumps consist of two cups attached to a vacuum generating device. These cups are meant to be placed over the breast. Pressure is generated when the air is sucked out of the cups, due to the partial vacuum. This pressure enhances the blood circulation in the breasts.

Therefore, these pumps enhance the health of the tissues and ligaments within the breasts. Further, breast pumps help in flushing out any toxic materials that settle into the breasts from time to time. This is especially helpful when the woman is lactating.

Exercise and Massaging

We all know that exercise is good for the body. In fact, there are various exercises set for various parts of the body, like the back, the arms and the legs. In the same way, there are various exercises for the enlargement of breasts. Apart from such exercises, massages are also very helpful in the enlargement of breasts. These exercises are just part of the stay fit regime more and more people are embracing all over the world.

Basically, breast exercises are aimed at firming up the pectoral muscles below the breasts. Once the pectoral muscles become firmer, the breast tissues follow suit, which make the breast tissues stronger and suppler.

Therefore, breast enlargement exercises are chest expansion exercises. These exercises are part and parcel of an athlete’s life. Along with these exercises, women use yoga to enhance their physical as well as mental state of life. Breast massages are easy, and don’t require any special equipment. These massages consist of different pressures applied on the breasts a set pattern. Breast massages provide better circulation of blood in the breast, and flush out any dangerous toxins that may collect.
