Is Pumpkin Seed Oil Good For Breasts?

The pumpkin seed oil also known as pepita oil is a cold-pressed oil from pumpkin seeds. There are two main types of pumpkins from which the oil is obtained, both of the Cucurbita plant genus. One is Cucurbita pepo, and the other is Cucurbita maxima.

Pumpkin seed oil is particularly rich in linoleic acid, a type of omega-6 fatty acid that may be associated with improved heart health and blood sugar management. Additionally, pumpkin seed oil contains high amounts of antioxidant compounds, including polyphenols and carotenoids, which may help protect against inflammation and chronic disease.

Researchers are also exploring pumpkin seed oil’s ability to heal wounds. Modern science supports many claims about pumpkin seed oil’s benefits and offers several reasons why you should incorporate pumpkin seed oil into your diet.

Recently, the popularity of pumpkin seed oil has soared because it’s being promoted as an oil that can enhance and firm the female breast.

The oil is typically dark green or amber and has a nutty scent. This oil is full of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids like:

  • Linoleic acid (omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids);
  • Vitamin C
  • Tocopherols (vitamin E)
  • Sterols
  • Carotenoids (also known as antioxidants);
  • Magnesium
  • Zinc
  • Potassium

You can use pumpkin seed oil for preparing food or even apply it topically for skin and hair benefits. It’s also available as a nutritional supplement.

Breast Sizes

Female breasts can develop in various shapes and sizes. A person’s genetics, age, body weight, and hormone levels can all influence the shape and size of their breasts, areolae, and nipples.

The breasts can become bigger temporarily during pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Sometimes, breast shape can be related to weight gain or sexual arousal. Certain medications can cause breast swelling, too. Some people observe this when taking birth control pills.

No one has a perfectly symmetrical body. So it’s not surprising that the left and right breasts can vary in size, shape, volume, and location. In 2006, the British scientific journal Breast Cancer Research published data saying that only one woman in 504 had symmetrical breasts.

Experts from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, found that the left breast is bigger than the right in 62 percent of cases. In some people, the difference isn’t striking, whereas, in others, one breast can be a full cup size bigger than the other.

Usually, this is normal, especially in adolescent girls whose bodies are still developing.

Does pumpkin seed oil increase breast size?

Yes, pumpkin seed oil is rich in phytoestrogens and studies suggest that there is some benefit to supplementation in low estrogen conditions. The phytoestrogens in pumpkin seed oil trigger increase breast size by stimulating the growth of breast tissue, reducing breast sag, and making them perkier.

Low estrogen levels can decrease the amount of fat and tissue in your breasts, leaving them smaller and less full than they used to be. Estrogen and progesterone are the only natural hormones we know of that increase breast size. But as you may know, studies have linked excess estrogen and progesterone with breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke in postmenopausal women.

How much pumpkin seed oil should I take for breast enlargement?

Pumpkin seed oil can be taken in a liquid or concentrated pill form. This can be purchased in health stores or through an online health retailer. Most of the time, people take pumpkin seed oil in pill form. This is generally because it’s more convenient and is easier to swallow. It’s commonly sold in 1,000-milligram capsules, but you can find it in different dosages.

Although there’s currently no official recommended dosage for pumpkin seed oil, most products provide 1,000–2,000 mg per serving.

Risks and Side Effects

There are no known pumpkin seed oil side effects. Of course, you should always check with your doctor before taking pumpkin seed oil if you have any ongoing health conditions, are taking medication, or are pregnant, or breastfeeding. Pumpkin seed oil is generally considered safe in food amounts and medicinal amounts for most people, but it may cause ejaculation problems in some men.

It is very important to never use rancid pumpkin seed oil or supplements.
