Mastisis is a huge concern for mothers who are breast feeding. As an infection in the tissue of the breasts, it can become very painful and uncomfortable.
A Perezitos.com reader would like to know if there are any natural ways to cure Mastisis, by asking Amy Malin of True Heart Events:
Do you know any homeopathic remedies for Mastisis? My boobs are killing me!
Amy says:
First of all, let me start by saying that I am not a physician and so I advise ALWAYS consulting your doctor regarding any medical issues. I am happy to share some fabulous homeopathic remedies that I have used to deal with Mastisis.
#1 Breastfeed often as this will help unclog your blocked milk ducts and should provide some relief.
#2 Pump right after you breastfeed to help drain your boobies of the remaining milk.
#3 Put hot compresses on your boobies multiple times a day.
#4 Massage your boobies which will help unclog the blocked milk ducts. For added pleasure have your partner do the massaging! No reason it can’t turn into sexy time.
#5 Take 8 drops of grapefruit seed extract in water or juice once a day. This also aids in fighting the bacterial infection that is Mastisis.
I hope you start to feel better soon and again please consult with your doctor first and foremost for all Mommy medical issues.
These steps are super easy and very helpful to all mothers!
