When the milk produced by your breasts is more than the milk consumed by your baby, there is high possibility of your milk ducts to get clocked. The excess milk may stay in the ducts causing swelling and inflammation in the surrounding tissues. This swelling presses the milk ducts causing a blockage.
Clogged milk ducts are painful and make breastfeeding more challenging. Once you have a clogged duct, your chances of getting another increases if you aren’t careful. Worst of all, a clogged duct can lead to mastitis if not properly treated. Here are natural, DIY treatments for a blocked milk duct that worked.
Tip 1: Take a hot shower.
Tip 2: Apply coconut oil and lavender essential oil.
Tip 3: Cold, raw potato?!?
Tip 4: Nurse your baby!
Tip 5: Try sunflower lecithin.
Tip 6: Take Phytolacca as directed on bottle.
Tip 7: Raw garlic every 2 hrs.
Tip 8: Pineapple juice!
