Home Remedies for Gynecomastia (Enlarged Breasts in Men)

1. Turmeric

Turmeric is a well-known home remedy for gynecomastia. This spice can increase the testosterone hormone levels in males. When the level of testosterone becomes high, large breasts in men naturally reduce in size. Plus, turmeric promotes liver health and helps burn fat.

• Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of turmeric to a cup of water and heat it for 10 minutes. Drink it 2 or 3 times a day and especially before going to bed. Repeat daily and within a few weeks you will notice the changes.
• You can also take turmeric capsules under the guidance of a doctor.

Note: Consult your doctor before taking turmeric as a remedy as it can make stomach problems like GERD worse in some people. Plus, it may worsen gallbladder problems and interfere with blood thinning medications.

2. Fish Oil

Fish oils are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial for men with gynecomastia because they help in the production of testosterone. Plus, these fatty acids help reduce estrogen levels, which is one of the reasons behind the growth of male breasts.

• Take fish oil supplements. You can also take omega-3 supplements. Consult your doctor for the correct dosage and usage.
• Eat cold-water fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
