How can you relieve sore breasts at time of the month?

Answer 1

After doing an extensive search I have found (but not yet used) the following remedies:

1. Chamomile and Dandelion - Pills or Tea act as a natural diuretic to get rid of excess fluids you may be retaining.

2. Over the counter pain relievers.

3. Warm Bath.

4. Gamolenic acid provided by Evening primrose oil. Pills: 3-4 twice daily.

5. Tincture of black cohosh (10-20 drops), vitex (20-40 drops) and liferoot (5-10 drops) twice a day for 2 weeks preceding menstruation. Also, chewing on a dong quai root for two weeks preceding menstruation may help.

6. St. John's Wort oil: For most people, topical application penetrates nerve endings and relieves pain.

7. More vitamin B6, magnesium and vitamin E.

8. Rosemary, juniper and cypress essential oils also have natural diuretic properties. Add a few drops to your bath, or up to six drops of a single oil, or a combination, to a tablespoon of grapeseed or sweet almond oil and gently massage it into your breasts, using sweeping, circular motions.
