Treatment for Mastitis or Breast Infection

For some reason, I seem to be more prone to breast infections than some, having my first one when my firstborn was only five days old! I have had many of them, and have never had to take antibiotics. Here are a few ways I have learned to handle them at home:
As soon as you notice a sore spot, drop whatever else you happen to be doing, take your baby and a large bottle of water and go to bed immediately! You must rest, let baby nurse as much as possible, and drink, drink, drink. Even though you may be really sore, let the baby nurse first on the sore breast. If you don't, you will only get more impacted and hurt even worse! Always offer the sore breast first.  These are the biggest keys, and if you catch it early enough, that may be all you need to do to get rid of it before it develops into anything worse.
In addition to the above, it is helpful to take:
*Echinacea Tea (always good to keep on hand)
*Extra Vitamin C - packets of EmerGen-C are a good way to get 1,000mg of Vit C, and all of your necessary electrolytes to stay hydrated as well. It is sold inexpensively at Wal-Mart. Super Orange is the best flavor, in my opinion.
*Garlic, raw, if you can handle it! Garlic is a wonderful natural anti-biotic, taken raw. This is how we do it: Chop a clove of garlic really fine. Put some honey on a spoon and then the garlic over the honey. Then put more honey on top of the garlic. Swallow as quick as you can and down some liquid to chase it down. Do not chew! Here is a great tutorial on how to take garlic!
*A heating pad, applied to the sore area
*Hot baths or showers. This is especially helpful if you have a very sore spot that may indicate a clogged milk duct. While in hot water of bath, shower, or even sink,  lean over and try to massage any sore spots in a downward motion to unclog any possibly clogged milk ducts. Do this as often as necessary.
Don't forget that the biggest keys to overcoming it are:
-Rest
-Hydration
-Frequent Nursing!

  1. Hello. I am Tosin. I wish to narrate how I was permanently healed from Diabetes type 2 via a naturopathic herbal method.

    My mom had suffered from diabetes Mellitus and which had caused her early demise when I was a toddler. I have also lived to have suffered, unknown, from this terrible ailment in my youth age, and of which has resulted in several health complications I had experienced in my lifetime. I was thus, placed on an insulin medication as I also had maintained a healthy diet and regular exercises. This mode of treatment had persisted a long time without any rightful hope for a healthy personality in the future. I was dying piecemeal, and of all qualities, I had desired for was to become a normal person again. I prayed and never had stopped believing Providence was preparing better opportunities on my behalf.

    It was during my endless search for a positive remedy for my condition that I had stumbled upon the marvelous herbal works of Dr. Utu Herbal Cure and his everlasting motive in eliminating all viral diseases naturally. This African herbalist whom I had realized was also a natural healer and activist of the herbal works of his ancient fathers. I was very relieved at receiving this piece of information as I was very tempted to contact this African natural healer Dr. Utu about the betterment of my condition. I had given this herbal doctor every piece of information he had needed to save my life and I was highly marveled at his generosity in wanting to help me attain a normal life again. I had followed his herbal recommendations and after a few weeks, I had soon started seeing good changes in my health life. It was too real to be true, but it was as when I was later diagnosed to be un-diabetic.

    This miraculous change in my health life had occurred a few months ago and I am very much as pleased to share this piece of information every moment because it means so much to me as to be healthy again, and I know inwardly, that it would also mean so much to other people who happen to be suffering from this disease and would also prefer a normal life too. I wish to use this message to give confidence to those who would by chance happen to come across this information to be hopeful and find a confidant like Dr. Utu in overcoming their health problems. You can be healthy today for a healthier tomorrow by reaching this good herbal doctor for help and assistance. I would also encourage this piece of information to be shared among friends and loved ones to create a positive awareness.
