yesterday morning I woke up feeling icky and my left breast hurt so badly! well by noon I was sick with a fever and had red spots on it. I had mastitis sooooo many times with DD and DS1 tIhat the dr just ended up calling in rxs for me when i needed them- so I knew what it was without a doubt. well, I called my dr and he is out- the np insisted that she no the dr would give me an rx without seeing me first. well that was just annoying.

so I called a mw I know and she told me to load up on garlic, echinacea, golden seal, and rose hip tea, soak my breast in super hot water, use cabbage leaves on the red spots and go to bed. I did all of that and now today it feels almost perfect!

I just had to share because I wish someone would have told me this cure years ago!

That is WONDERFUL! I'm printing out this email for future reference, I love to hear about natural remedies that work!

That's great.

I got rid of my first bout by getting a receiving blanket wet with hot water, wrapping my breast with it and then putting a heating pad on top and nursing/ pumping like crazy.
