Home remedy for mastitis - massage

Massage

When suffering from mastitis, massage the affected breast. This will help unblock the plugged milk
ducts and relieve swelling. Always massage from the outer breast toward the nipple in small circles, applying more pressure on the infected area.
  • Prepare a massage oil by mixing together equal amounts of apricot and wheat germ oil. Use it to massage your breast using upward strokes. Do this a few times daily.
  • Another option is to mix a few drops of camphor oil in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and use it to massage your breasts a few times day.
Note: Make sure to clean your nipples with warm water before breastfeeding your baby.
