Milk Matters
Dear Colleague
Many of us are inclined to reach for the Hypericum when nursing mothers report exquisite nipple pain during breastfeeding. However, while a lotion made from Hypericum and Calendula tinctures affords soothing and healing relief from cracks, my clinical experience nominates these medicines for primary consideration:
- Sepia
- Helonias
- Borax
This case, which showcases a lesser-known medicine for nipple pain, demonstrates, however, that we cannot be prescriptive when it comes to selection of the Simillimum. We need to always be mindful of the need to delve deep to ascertain the root cause; and that it may well be linked to an event in the past, not current, history.
I hope that you find what I have to share, both interesting and beneficial.
Best wishes
