Essential oils for breast pain
Breast pain can range from annoying to debilitating. Often, doctors can’t recommend much in the way of treatments, so you’re on your own for find out stuff that works for you.
Fortunately, there has been some research into oils and plants that have had some success in clinical trials.
Textbook recommendations for breast pain are treatment with evening primrose oil and vitamin E in addition to other measures, like wearing a supportive bra.
Breast pain can be caused by the breast tissue’s being stimulated by too much estrogen. Here are some essential oils that have been shown to block estrogen receptors:
rosemary
thyme
helichrysum
sage
myrtle
yarrow
Use these oils in aromatherapy or soap/lotion blends. You’ll also want to avoid oils like lavender and tea tree, which can increase estrogen.
