HOW TO USE:

Make a strong tea of the herbs, then dip soft muslin cloths into the herbal liquid and apply hot to the affected area (careful - not too hot - just as hot as you can bear without discomfort. Try it on your inner wrist first!) When the cloth has cooled, dip into the herbal liquid and repeat. If you can do 10 minutes of this, 3 times a day during the acute phase, you'll be doing well. Then follow up by applying the Masty Blitz Topical Balm in between rounds of the compress, and drink some Masty Blitz Tea, 2-3 cups daily until you feel better.

If things don't improve, try the Masty-Blitz Tincture.

Don't let mastitis get away on you though, go to bed. Rest, eat, drink. Keep the breast empty as far as possible. Support your immune system. Take pro-biotics. If you're not noticing improvement, please, get thee to medical help and consider anti-biotics. They have their place!
