Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Dana, I have known moms who have done this. It worked for them.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I really only use potato poultices for abscesses. Phytolacca and castor oil work so effectively, I rely on them for plugs. And if they recur--on to diet. Tow, IBCLC. USA & France > > I have a mom with a history of mastitis in now older baby. With this one, she has a pretty good clogged milk duct.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 .....only that it might not work and she might use meds--castor oil and homeopathy have always worked, IME. She could use it as well, of course. I peel and grate it--and apply it directly on the tissue when I use it. For castor oil. just soak a dry cloth with castor oil--either heat it in a microwave or oven or use a heating pad or hot water bottle after placing it on the inflamed area. Take 2-3 pellets of the remedy very half hour for 6 doses. She will know by then if it's working--if so, she can just stop it or take another dose in a couple of hours. If it starts to come back, she can take another dose--or increase frequency--it usually doesn't. If it is already mastitis, she can use belladonna instead.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have only 'recomended' it for plugged ducts. For some reason we grated it, not sure where the grating came from, maybe the ''mother herbal guide'. I don't remember there being alot of pain involved maybe because only did it with pluged ducts.
