Tip 1---Avoid diuretics
Diuretics do help drain fluid from the body and reduce breast swelling. But this immediate relief comes at a price. Excessive use of diuretics can cause potassium loss, disrupt electrolyte balance, and affect Grape Sugar formation.
Tip 2---Don’t eat salty food
High-salt foods can easily cause breast enlargement. This type of food should be avoided especially 7 to 10 days before menstruation.
Tip 3---Try hot compress
Hot compress is a traditional Chinese medicine method, which can be used to relieve breast pain with hot compress bags, hot water bottles or hot baths. If you use alternating cold and hot compresses, the effect of eliminating breast discomfort will be better.
Tip 4---Prevent Obesity
For those who are overweight female , losing weight will help relieve breast swelling and pain.
Tip 5---Use castor oil on your chest
Castor oil contains a substance that enhances the function of T11 lymphocytes, which can speed up the recovery of various infections and relieve pain. The method is: drop castor oil on a cotton cloth folded into four layers, so that it is covered with castor oil, but do not make it too wet to avoid dripping everywhere. Apply this cloth to the breast, cover it with a layer of plastic film, and then put a hot compress bag on it. Adjust the heat pack to the heat you can tolerate and leave it on for an hour.
