Mastitis and no antibiotics? - Page 2

post #21 of 22
I hope you are over your mastitis.
I also have had a really hard time w/ mastitis and plugged ducts
the things that helped me were taking lecithan

I also went to a special clinic called Oketani (here in Japan) and the women had me make a poultice of

finely grated potato
flour
a few drops of vinegar

mix until it has the consistency of your earlobe (LOL! that's what they told me)

put it in thin guaze or paper towel and wear next to your breast at the area where the plug or red spot appears. Where until it dries and replace w/ another one.

It has amazingly worked for me every time.
