Why don't I just massage them all on? You know, instead of taking them in capsule form in the morning, why not massage them on instead? There's so much stuff to block or stop the herbs from getting to the right spot. If I massage them on, they'll get absorbed through my skin and right into the targeted area.

The problem with that is the that the herbs would have to be absorbed into your skin. That's the hard part. It is possible. It's just that it's your skins job to keep things OUT of the body. It's very good at doing that too. If you do try this make sure you leave the mixture on as long as you can. Some people do it over night, wrapping saran wrap (plastic food wrap) around their busts. Also low heat opens the pores, so it is thought that can help with absorption as well. Good luck on whatever you choose!

Things that absorb well into the skin are usually fat soluble. That is one of the reasons progesterone cream works so well. Estrogen creams are not as fat soluble so they don't absorb as well.

Most herbs are probably not very fat soluble, so indeed absorption could be a problem. Also absorption into areas that contain high amounts of body fat always slows assimilation into the blood supply (the substance gets caught up in the body fat). So if you wanted to get maximum absorption, placing the herbs on thin skinned, less fat areas would be better.

Also, the 'target' area for the herbs may very well be the pituitary gland, not the breast itself. I know it is easy to think that the herbs work directly on the breast, but mostly they cause our body to create substances that are used to promote breast tissue. Consider too, some herbs must be digested in order to release the chemical agents they contain.

The way to get the most out of your herbs is probably by mouth, instead of on your skin. However, since massage is definitely good for NBE, mixing some of those herbal extracts into you massaging cream could assist you as well.
