Elea,
I am copying a reply on this website about a new mom with Mastitis. Hope this helps.
I wanted to share an experience I had on Friday night. I thought I had experienced mastitis before. I was wrong. I am trying to wean my baby off of a few feeding so I can sleep. He is 11 months and still nurses like a champ all day and night even though he eats solids and drinks water.I started to feel tenderness in my right breast in the morning. It was normal, I thought. By that evening around 4 or 5 I was feeling a little weak and achy I got out my peppermint and put it where the pain was and then I got out my modern essentials book and looked up mastitis it said lavender and citrus bliss. I let my sister borrow my citrus bliss the night before. I used lavender, grapefruit, lemon and wild orange. I laid down and then the chills started. My dear friend Brianna and I were suppose to go out. I told her it wasn't going out tonight. She jumped on the google group and asked for help. The reply was immediate frankincense, onguard and basil. I didn't have basil. I put lemon, onguard and frankincense coconut oil in bath sea salt . I soaked for 30 minutes. The chills stoped and the gravity was off my breast. Still I was in alot of pain. I kept breathing deeply. I got out and laid down. The chills were back. My feet, hands and nose were cold and my body was hot. My husband put on guard on my feet and gloves. I put a cold pack on my breast to reduce the swelling and nursed my baby .I took a capsule of lemon, onguard and oregano. I put onguard and frankincense and lemon on my breast.The warming off the ongaurde seemed to be helping.Then I used cypress on my feet and breast for circulation. I was feeling pretty hot. I didn't check my temperature in my opinion i was borderline of a dangerous temperature.At 9 pm I was about to give up and go to the hospital I felt like dying I was dizzy and nauseous.I stood outside in the cold to cool off. I laid had down again nursed my baby again and fell asleep. I woke up 30 minutes later sweaty but feeling better. I went to the bathroom and splashed water on my face got some water and an apple.I had a bad headache. I put peppermint and eucalyptus and frankincense on my temples forehead and neck. I slept until 4 am. nursed and did the headache oils again and woke in the morning a new women, still a little tender.I was afraid it would come back. I applied onguard everyday.I am 100% now. I am so grateful I was able to heal myself naturally and that I had support from my husband, Brianna and the google group. I can't believe it was only 5 hours and I was feeling so much better. I just wanted to share this learning experience I hope it will help someone in some way. Love Tamera
