How long should I apply Glauber's salt to my breasts?

Apply Glauber's salt to the breasts for about an hour at a time. If you feel a burning sensation during the application and the burning sensation becomes obvious, remove it immediately. You can apply it once to twice a day. If you mean applying Glauber's salt externally on the breasts to stop milk production, you can use 250 grams of Glauber's salt, divide it into two parts, wrap it with cloth, place it on one side of the breast, and replace it after it hardens. It is recommended to take the medicine under the specific guidance of a doctor and not to take it without authorization.

Mastitis will be cured in about a week by using Glauber's salt. If the patient's condition is serious, it will be cured in 2 weeks. To treat mastitis, you need to apply some medicines to the injured area, which can directly act on some tissues of the body and effectively improve the symptoms. External application of Glauber's salt in the treatment of subacute mastitis can usually quickly relieve pain and swelling: if it is combined with heat-clearing and knot-dispersing agents such as dandelion flowers, plantain, large clams, and bee pollen, the effect will be even faster.

To treat mastitis, you need to use pure cotton cloth to sew a cloth bag that is slightly larger than the breast lump, take Coptis chinensis and Glauber's salt, grind them into powder and mix them, put them into the cloth bag and seal it, and apply it on the breast lump. The range should exceed the lump by about 2cm, and the thickness of the medicine should not be less than 3mm. If the lump is large, the dosage can be appropriately increased according to the ratio of Coptis chinensis and Glauber's salt of 1:2, fixed with a bra and gauze, changed once every 24 hours, combined with breast acupuncture and massage, manual breast milk expression to promote milk discharge, prevent further milk accumulation, and add antibiotic treatment.

In addition, pay attention to rest in the early stage, stop breastfeeding, clean the nipples and nipples, promote milk discharge (using an automatic breast pump or sucking), and those who need incision drainage should stop breastfeeding. It is the main prerequisite for the treatment of mastitis.

The above is a detailed explanation, I believe everyone has a certain grasp of it. Mothers should also pay attention to their daily diet, drink less water, less porridge, especially high-protein and high-fat soups and dishes, to reduce the production of milk. It is also necessary to reduce the frequency and amount of the baby's sucking milk or stop the baby from sucking milk, otherwise the baby's sucking will irritate the breasts and affect milk secretion.
