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.
Homeopathy for Breast Infection
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 mom.
The efficacy of homeopathy for breast infection is well documented in medical Materia medicas 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 in 1798, she likely chose one of the remedies below, just like today’s modern mom.
Not unlike traditional foods, real medicine transcends the centuries. No chemical tinkerings, no shenanigans from the pharmaceutical industry. Just simple, safe and efficacious.
Here are three main remedies to consider for a breast infection, also referred to as mastitis.
- Belladonna 30
- Phytolacca 30
- Hepar sulph 6
Belladonna is the remedy to think of when the breast is very red, hot, deeply painful (particularly when mom is jarred) and swollen. It can even be shiny from swelling. It 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’s see significant improvement. If there is no improvement after 5 doses, it indicates that its time to consider another remedy.
If the symptoms are not as angry and extreme, then Phytolacca 30 is likely the right choice. Phytolacca 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 of either of the two other remedies 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 one does ensue, now you have your strategy in place.
Homeopathic remedies are safe for mom and baby, inexpensive, easy to take and keeps moms off antibiotics. (The best part.)
The Take-Away
You CAN treat yourself! The ability to heal yourself and family is a tradition that is as old as motherhood. I hold that the ultimate female privilege is to become a mother, and our built-in sense of duty should be accepted as powerful and palpable.
Join me in linking arms across the globe. One mother bonded to another in defense of our motherly right to raise our families in the fashion we deem decent. No foods of commerce, no drugs of commerce. Just plain horse sense.
I used cabbage leaves successfully several times. Very helpful to clear up a clogged duct within a few hours.
yes..i had a bit of a brest infection while and when i knew what it was, and that i got a fever (i had seen yer artical) so i whent to bed and coverd myself in blankets (which felt good cause i had chills & was tired) and when i woke up my fevor had broke. ha ha!
Or a hot boiled egg wrapped in a wet rag in your bra. The egg will stay hot for quite a while, and the warm moist heat helps unstoppable the blockage.
I am a dairy farmer and these are some of the main remedies I use on my mamas…although I am an herbalist, I find homeopathics easier and cheaper to administer to the girls, and they are immediately and incredibly effective when I choose the correct remedy.
I also find that they get fewer infections (of course) when they are well nourished, and find that regular use of probiotics seems to prevent such conditions from occuring in the first place.
I read that being stressed and not getting enough sleep makes you prone to mastitis.
I had information expressing the roots of homeopathic is not one that you’d want to be involved in. That dr who study it for years will trash all of their literature after years of studying. I found this information after researching homeopathic. Does any one have any information that confirms or disregards this?
I’ve used a mixture of goldenseal root and castor oil applied to the breast, wrapped saran wrap around it and applied a hot wet towel around it. That always helped. What seemed to be faster the last time I had it was marshmallow root and I took Oscillo to minimize the symptoms. Cabbage leaf works well to soothe the breast. Nurse, nurse, nurse.
Here’s a relevant story posted yesterday about how homeopathy is under attack in California. You can bet that big pharma wants to squash all competition in whatever way possible.

Great information! I have endured over 30 bouts with mastitis in my nursing career and dealt with all of them homeopathically. I more recently found out about echinacea’s great ability to help with mastitis and also use that now.
Thanks, Joette!
pack the breast with raw grated potato to draw out the heat. I had double mastitis and the potato pack had me cooler and smaller in 24 hours.
