Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Labisia pumila, commonly known as Kacip Fatimah, is traditionally used in Southeast Asian herbal medicine, particularly by Malay women. Its use for supporting or enhancing breast size is rooted in folkloric and traditional practices, rather than scientific validation. Traditionally, it is consumed for a variety of women's health concerns such as menstrual regulation, postpartum recovery, and general reproductive health. Some traditional beliefs suggest it may help "firm" or "tone" breasts after childbirth, but these claims are largely anecdotal and not systematically documented.

There is scant scientific evidence specifically addressing the use of Labisia pumila for breast enlargement or enhancement. The available research focuses on its phytoestrogenic properties, which could theoretically influence breast tissue, as phytoestrogens can mimic estrogen in the body. However, no clinical trials or robust scientific studies have demonstrated a direct effect of Labisia pumila on breast size or morphology. Therefore, while the traditional use exists, the scientific evidence supporting this specific claim is minimal, and the efficacy for breast enhancement remains unproven.
