Natural home remedies for breast tenderness

Hereare some home-based approaches to ease the unpleasantness hatched by yourhormones. Vitamins, herbs and oils keep fluid retention in check andcoax your hormones into a breast-friendly balance (more progesterone,less estrogen). And a few dietary changes will help you get somebothers off your chest.What you can do for breast tenderness 

• When you’re in the shower, soap your breasts and gently massage them from the centre of your chest out to your armpits. This improves blood circulation and the drainage of lymph, the clear fluid that carries infection-fighting agents through your body.

• Wrap a towel around a bag of ice cubes or frozen vegetables and apply it to each breast for about 10 minutes. The cold-pack treatment reduces swelling and dulls the pain.

• Consider wearing support bras instead of underwire bras when your breasts are tender. You may want to wear your bra to bed to reduce nighttime jostling. When you try on a new bra, make sure it cups your breasts without pinching. Once you have new, more comfortable bras, throw away the stretched-out old ones that just don’t provide the right support anymore.

Eat more soybeans and other soy foods. Soy contains hormonelike compounds called phytoestrogens that can influence hormonal fluctuations related to menstruation and menopause. Try some soy-based meat substitutes, or add tofu or soy nuts to your meals. Soy milk is another excellent source; try it in fruit smoothies.

Consume plenty of fibre, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes (like lentils and black beans) and whole grains. A study at Tufts University School of Medicine found that women on a higher-fibre diet excreted more estrogen, which helps with breast tenderness.

Aim to get less than 30 percent of your calories from fat. Women who live in cultures where low-fat diets are the norm generally have a lower incidence of breast pain.

Cut back your intake of hydrogenated oils, found in margarine, packaged baked goods and snack products. When you eat these oils, your body loses some of its ability to convert the fatty acids in your diet (essential to your health) into gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)—a necessary link in a chain reaction that prevents breast tissue from becoming painful.

Reduce your consumption of methylxanthine, a component of many common foods, including coffee, cola, tea, wine, beer, bananas, chocolate, cheese, peanut butter, mushrooms and pickles. Most women who endure painful lumps on a cyclical basis will improve if they cut way back on, or eliminate, foods that are high in this compound.

Watch your intake of sodium. Sodium increases water retention, which causes your breasts to swell. Be especially careful to keep a cap on your salt consumption starting about two weeks before your period.

A natural boost for treatment of breast tenderness

• Dandelion is a natural diuretic. Take the herb in capsule form, or make a tea using powdered dandelion root. Simmer two to three teaspoons of the powder in a cup of water for 15 minutes. Drink three cups a day.

• Try evening primrose oil, a traditional herbal remedy for premenstrual symptoms. It contains an essential fatty acid GLA that may help balance a woman’s hormones and seems to ease cyclical breast tenderness.

• Vitamins E and B6 may also work together to help prevent breast tenderness. While you may have to use supplements, you can boost the vitamins in your diet by eating nuts, barley and wheat germ for more vitamin E, and avocados, lean meats and spinach for plenty of B6.

Do these exercises daily for at least 30 minutes. To be sure you are doing them correctly, seek professional advice from a gym instructor or trainer.

 Massage

According to the Institute of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine, massaging the breasts regularly can increase your breast size. Massage helps in two ways. First, it increases blood circulation, and secondly, it helps stretch out the tissues within the breast to make them appear bigger and firmer. Use natural oils like olive oil or almond oil to massage your breasts.

1. Rub the oil between your palms for two to three minutes to generate heat.
2. Place your hands on your breasts and rub inwards, continuing around your breasts in a circular direction.
3. Do a minimum of 100 to 300 circular rubs in the morning and again before going to bed.
4. Follow this remedy twice daily for one or two months to get positive results.

Fenugreek

• Mix one-fourth cup of fenugreek powder with a little water to make a paste. Apply the paste on the breasts and massage gently. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes and then rinse it off with water. Follow this remedy twice daily for best results. To make fenugreek powder, dry roast and then grind fenugreek seeds.
• Another option is to daily massage your breasts with fenugreek oil, or a mixture of one part fenugreek extract and two parts body lotion.
• You can also include fenugreek sprouts in your diet or take fenugreek in the form of pills three times a day after consulting your doctor.

Fennel Seeds

• Heat one tablespoon of cod liver oil with two teaspoons of fennel seeds in a pan. Allow the seeds to turn red. Strain the oil and allow it to cool. Use this oil to massage your breasts gently for five to 10 minutes. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. Follow this remedy twice daily for one or two months.
• You can also drink a cup of fennel tea daily. To make fennel tea, steep one teaspoon of fennel seeds in  a cup of hot water for about 10 minutes and then strain it.

Red Clover

1. Add one or two teaspoons of dried red clover flowers to one cup of hot water.
2. Allow it to steep for 30 minutes.
3. Strain and drink this tea two or three times a day.
4. Follow this remedy for a few months to get the desired result.
   

Pueraria Mirifica

A study done at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand found that pueraria mirifica can increase breast size by up to 80 percent. It contains phytoestrogens like deoxymiroestrol, miroestrol and genistein. These phytoestrogens are known to contribute to balancing hormone levels in a woman’s body, which ultimately leads to healthy development of the body as well as the breasts.

You can find pueraria mirifica in the market in topical creams, gels, soaps or in oral capsule and tablet forms. The recommended oral dosage is 250 mg twice daily. For topical products, apply it to the breast area twice daily for three to five minutes until fully absorbed. These treatments should be followed for about three months to achieve the desired result.

Wheat Germ Oil

Wheat germ oil can also be used for breast enlargement and to create a fuller profile. When massaged into the breasts, it will help increase blood flow to the area, ensuring proper nourishment and oxygen for proper metabolism. This will enhance breast size. Plus, as wheat germ oil is rich in vitamin E, it will also prevent sagging breasts and keep them firm for longer.

1. Massage a few drops of wheat germ oil into your breasts in circular motions for 10 minutes.
2. Follow this remedy two or three times daily to see improvement within a month.

Saw Palmetto

Another popular herb for breast enlargement is saw palmetto. Though unclear, its breast-enhancing effects could come from its phytonutrients and fatty acids, which stimulate breast tissue development, thereby improving the appearance as well as the size of your breasts.

Saw palmetto is readily available in the market in the form of oral capsules, tablets and tea.

• You can drink two to three cups of saw palmetto tea daily for a few months.
• If taking supplements, begin with 160 mg containing 85 to 95 percent sterols and lipids, twice daily. For appropriate dosage, consult a doctor.

 Wild Yam

Wild yam is recommended by naturopathic physicians for breast enlargement. This herb contains phytoestrogens that help encourage breast tissue growth.

• Wild yam can be taken in tea or capsule form for breast enlargement.
• You can also massage your breasts with wild yam cream to allow the progesterone to be absorbed through the skin. Do this twice daily for several months to notice increased breast size.
