Top Homeopathic Remedies for Mastitis

• Aconite
  Sudden onset (like Belladonna), but without the throbbing pain. The onset often follows a sudden change of weather or exposure to cold air or a cold, dry wind. Usually another remedy is required after Aconite, such as Belladonna or Bryonia
• Arnica
  Inflammation follows an injury to the breast. Patients feel sore, bruised, and achy. There is fear to have the part touched.
• Belladonna
  Sudden onset with rapidly rising fever. The breast is hot to touch, engorged, swollen, congested — red, hot breast. Throbbing pain in the breasts. The pain is worse from jarring. The right side is more often affected.
• Bryonia
  Begins often with general chills and fever, stitching pains in the breast and headache. The breast feels hard and stony with stitching, needle-like pains. Any movement aggravates the pain.
