Yes, testosterone coverts to estrogen via aromatase, but that specific pathway for steroid biosynthesis is much harder considering T's prevalence for DHT. So......two things are needed to tip the tide in favor for breast growth (and hrt), that's an 5 alpha reductase inhibitor and a pro-aromatase.
Damiana is anti-aromatase, reduces estrogen biosynthesis.
