Home remedies for Breast Care



Breasts are natural organs that are present in the upper ventral region of the torso. Breasts are present in the female body, and they are vital because they contain the mammary glands that secrete milk for the new born baby. They are not only important in terms of cosmetic beauty, but are also a vital part of the human anatomy and the reproductive system. The breasts, just like the other organs in the body, are extremely susceptible to cancers and other ailments. Today, breast cancer is one of the leading causes of loss of breasts in women. Though breast cancer is not fatal and can be treated completely if detected early, it is still a frightening experience. 

Breast care is vital to save the breast and prevent amputation. From time to time, mammograms and self-examination of breasts should be conducted in order to keep checking for any signs of cancer. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help in keeping breasts healthy.


Causes of Breast Care
Breast care is extremely important because breast cancer can cause permanent loss of the breasts. Breast care is also especially important when a woman has reached the age of 20. There are several risk factors that increase the chances of cancer in women. Some of the risk factors are related to the age of the woman and there are also other risk factors which are related to the lifestyle of the woman. Lifestyle habits like poor diet, smoking, and drinking are all risk factors that can cause cancer. 

Apart from age, family history of breast cancer and hormonal changes are also known to increase the risk of breast cancer. Though it is known that hormones increase the risk of breast cancer, it is not known to what extent they may affect the condition.


Home remedies for Breast Care
Self care measures at home can help ensure breast health. Here’s what you can do to keep your breasts healthy. 

1. Mix together cod liver oil, vitamin E, ground bark of white oak and garlic tempered oil to a pasty consistency and apply on sore nipples. This paste will help reduce any inflammation in the breast region. 

2. Stuff your bra with leaves from the head of a cabbage when your breasts feel tender and painful. 

3. Brew some tea from red raspberry, and drink it everyday. Red raspberry tea is rich in anti-oxidants and helps prevent cancer.


Diet for Breast Care
Foods with good quantities of roughage, like whole cereals and green vegetables help to maintain estrogen levels. Estrogen is an important female hormone which can help prevent breast cancer. Foods with antioxidants, like tomatoes and green tea are also essential for preventing cancer.

Other suggestions for Breast Care
Problems of the breasts, like soreness, lumps, and other malformations or abnormalities should be discussed with a doctor as soon as these are observed. You can have a monthly self-examination to keep checking for appearance of any lumps.
