Herbs for Breast Health

What about herbs for promoting healthy breasts and preventing breast cancer? The ones I use myself and recommend most are Dandelion leaf, Nettle, Oat straw and Red Clover. What's great about these is that they're useful in so many ways, especially for general liver support. I take a daily tea of equal parts Dandelion leaf, Oat straw, Nettle and Horsetail, which has not only helped promote breast health, but has also helped reverse the early signs of osteoporosis and improved my hair and nails.

So, ladies love your breasts! Touch them, eat the right foods and herbs for them, and enjoy them, whatever shape or size they are! And men, if you love the woman in your life, remind her to take care of her breasts.

A blend for Fibroid Cysts in the breast.  (contributed by Dianna Pierce www.innersanctuary.com)

Roman Chamomile, Frankincense, Helichrysum and Evening Primrose Oil

"My sister Linda used it for six months, in between her visit to the Dr.  When she saw him, she had eleven cysts in the breast and was looking at aspirations again (she had already had at least ten aspirations and several surgeries where the cysts were cut out). After using the blend for six months and revisiting the surgeon he was amazed that she had one small cyst and it was one that had been aspirated before. She told him that she was using an aromatherapy blend that her sister  made, and he was amazed!  

I also had to have a second mammogram this past year as they saw three or four cysts that they needed a closer look at. I started to use the blend as soon  as I got home, at least four times a day, and in the three weeks between the test, three of the cysts were gone!  It is wonderful!  What else can I say!

The blend is going on my website (www.innersanctuary.com) and will be found under the Medicinal Blends."
