Hi! So I, unfortunately, got mastitis about a month into breastfeeding with my second baby and seriously…. it sucked!! I had flu-like symptoms and was pretty much laid up for 2 or 3 days. Now, I consider myself lucky that I was only down for a short time and I honestly attribute it to using essential oils as opposed to prescribed antibiotics. I hate putting that kind of thing into my system so I was looking for any natural way possible to deal with mastitis! Here’s what I did …..
- 2 drops of Oregano Oil under my tongue every day.
- I made a rollerball of Frankincense and Lavender and I rolled that on my breast every few hours.
- Pump, pump, pump.
- On Guard Softgels 3x a day.
- Oregano roller on the bottoms of my feet every night.
- Sunflower Lecithin daily to soften any hard and fatty knots in the breast.
This may not work for everyone, but I swear it worked for me! Tell me what natural method you’ve used to help get rid of mastitis!
