reducer, in herbal form; I would think used as an oil it would as
well. But engorgement is more about there being too much lymph fluid
in the breast than too much milk in the ducts.... so any anti-
swelling product is going to work well too... The best remedy tho' I
learned many moons ago -- use green cabbage leaves! Keep a head of
green cabbage in the fridge so the leaves are cold (cold helps reduce
swelling as well as feels great! on engorgement... crinkle them
briefly (roll over 'em with a rolling pin or just crush in your hands)
to release their volatile oils and then apply a leaf to each breast --
change them when you can smell the cabbage (it'll warm with body
temp!) --
Remember that pumping makes engorgement worse by increasing demand, so
only use a pump if you need to soften the breast to get a good latch
from baby...
happy birthing!!!
