How a nursing mother can easily resolve mastitis with three easily obtained, inexpensive homeopathic remedies instead of gut-harming antibiotics.
Did you know that a breast infection, also known as mastitis, which is so common to nursing mothers, can be easily and inexpensively resolved?
Read on!
It doesn’t get any better than this. The moment we realize we’re pregnant, our lives make a whirling shift and our attention becomes future-focused, generational, eternal.
Indeed, my motherly duties snapped to attention 9 months before each of my babies arrived, almost to the day.
Baby’s Nutrition
So how do we prepare and treat our baby and ourselves in the early months?
Need I discuss the importance of nutrient-dense foods for Mom?
Fermented foods help prevent mastitis, as one of many simple examples.
It’s absolutely key to what I call “generational well being,” in which no amount of prenatal vitamins will substitute for well-executed meals via a traditional pregnancy and nursing diet.
Homeopathy for Mastitis
But for many, this isn’t enough. That’s when homeopathy comes in.
Consider breast infections, also called mastitis.
Many students and clients call me regarding this oft-debilitating infection that can interfere with the nutrition of the baby and the well-being of the mother.
The efficacy of homeopathy for breast infection is well documented in medical Materia medica and repertories.
As long as the correct remedy is chosen, it works every time and has done so for over 200 years.
In fact, when a woman had mastitis centuries ago, she likely chose one of the remedies below, just like today’s modern mom.
Not unlike traditional foods, real medicine transcends the ages.
No chemical tinkerings, no shenanigans from the pharmaceutical industry.
Just simple, safe, and efficacious!
Specific Remedies to Use
Here are three main remedies to consider for a breast infection, also referred to as mastitis.
Belladonna 30C is the remedy to think of when the breast is red, hot, deeply painful (particularly when mom is jarred), and swollen.
The skin might even be shiny from swelling.
Symptoms may be accompanied by fever as well. This is what we call a Belladonna picture.
If this fits the description, Belladonna 30 is taken every 3-5 hours (4 pills or whatever is considered a dose on the bottle).
As with most homeopathic remedies for acute situations, the remedy is stopped as soon as there is significant improvement.
If there is no improvement after 5 doses, it indicates that it is time to consider another remedy.
If the symptoms are not as angry and extreme, then Phytolacca 30 is likely the right choice. This remedy would be used in the same fashion as above. That is every 3-4 hours until improvement.
Again, it should be noted that once the remedy has acted fully, it should be stopped.
Regardless of the symptoms, Hepar sulph 6 has a history of aiding the healing of mastitis if integrated into the schedule with either of the two other remedies above twice daily.
That means it would be taken every 3-4 hours but on the off hours from the other single chosen remedy.
Not only has this method been shown to address even the most painful of breast infections, but it may also uproot the propensity for another infection to ensue.
But, if another one does occur, now you have an effective strategy in place.
Homeopathic remedies are safe for mom and baby, inexpensive, and easy to take.
Most importantly, this approach keeps mom off antibiotics which threatens her gut health (as well as baby’s) and might even prematurely end the nursing relationship!

I wish I had known these remedies when I nursed my nine babies. The last one was the worst! I don’t recall that problem with the first seven.

I suffer badly from blocked ducts. Doing simple lymphatic drainage massage on my breast area has helped. Also physiotherapists can use ultra sound therapy to help.

Taking cranberry tablets heals breast infections. Cranberry breaks the bonds (pili) that attach E. coli to the breast membranes. Cranberry also works on other E.coli infections — infections of the bladder and E coli food poisoning.

I enjoyed reading some of the different comments about what worked for different moms. I’ve had quite a few bouts of mastitis myself. I’ve found that if treated early, it is easy to improve. My favorite remedy is hot compresses of chamomile tea. Chamomile is a natural antibiotic, and does the trick for me. As already mentioned…. don’t stop nursing! If the breast remains full, it will just increase the pain.

i also kicked a case in less than 24 hrs. with echinacea, mega dosing vit. c, and a bit of ibuprofen per midwife’s instructions. thank goodness, i’m allergic to antibiotics!

I was very prone to mastitis.Try mixing 1 teaspoon each of apple cider vinegar and honey with a cup of water. If you have mastitis, drink this mix 4 times a day and the mastitis will be gone in 24 hours. To prevent mastitis, consume one cup a day. It worked brilliantly for me.

Yep! My midwife recommended Belladonna and Phytolacca along with echinacea/propolis tinctures and plenty of vit. c, garlic, and warm compresses. It worked great!

Swallow crushed garlic cloves through-out the day and rub peppermint oil on infected area. Works for me when I have a bout. Cut out sugar for a time.
