The causes of mastosis can be varied. Indeed, the factor may be hormonal, such as hyperestrogenism. The causes can also be psychological or circulatory.
The first thing to do, then, will be to treat the cause. To regulate hormone levels, evening primrose and borage oils will be effective, to be used for six months at a rate of two capsules in the morning. These can also be used externally by massaging them in.
Also externally, creams based on meadowsweet and chamomile can be used.
On the psychological level, it is advisable to take sedatives such as linden, in the form of herbal teas, or valerian and passionflower.
Horsetail, found in creams, will also be a good remedy, applied as a daily massage over the chest.
Furthermore, in the case of a breast cyst, care should be taken to eliminate coffee consumption, and to reduce consumption of tea, chocolate, and carbonated beverages. Chicken, especially if it is not free-range, should also be avoided.
Finally, sage herbal teas will help in the healing process.
What the science says: linden, valerian, and calming herbs
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context only — these studies address material causes; healing belongs to Allah.
Linden, valerian, and calming herbs
Valerian improves sleep quality according to several meta-analyses (Am J Med, 2006) (J Evid Based Integr Med, 2020); linden contains anxiolytic flavonoids (J Ethnopharmacol, 2008), and a network review compares herbs against anxiety (passionflower, lemon balm, lavender…) (Pharmacol Res, 2022). Precaution: do not combine valerian, passionflower, or hops with sleeping pills and anxiolytics without medical advice; avoid before driving; take as a course of a few weeks rather than continuously.
