Home remedy for mastitis - Hot and Cold Compresses

Hot and Cold Compresses

Both hot and cold compresses are useful in the treatment of mastitis. While a cold compress can help reduce
swelling and relieve pain, a hot compress helps clear blockage, improve blood circulation and aid in milk flow.

1. Prepare a hot compress by wrapping a hot water bottle in a thin towel.
2. Prepare a cold compress by wrapping a few ice cubes in a thin towel.
3. Now place the hot compress on the infected breast for 15 minutes.
4. Next, apply the cold compress for 5 minutes.
5. Repeat the cycle 2 or 3 times.
6. Use this remedy as needed.
