Boob Compress

Or to be less crass—a compress for tender breasts

Daisy Mae Yokum, from the Li’l’ Abner comic strip, which took place in Dogpatch, USA, the abandoned remains of which we pass on our trips up HWY 7 into the Ozarks

Hey, I have to find my amusement where I can with these raging hormones.

This is yet another bioregional herb recipe, using ingredients that I forage in the Arkansas River Valley and Ozarks. My usual disclaimer: this recipe is meant to be inspiration to explore your own bioregion. I’m not a medical professional. I’m self taught and do my own research into how herbs interact with my personal diagnoses and prescription medications.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp broadleaf (or American) plantain

1 tsp selfheal

½ tsp yarrow

Steep in a cup of hot water for 20–30 minutes, strain, chill until cool (not icy), soak a soft cloth, and apply for 10–15 minutes. Many people find cool compresses more comfortable than warm ones for hormonally tender breasts.

I put my infusion in a plastic container and use really 2-4 really thick viva brand paper towels that I fold and leave in the infusion in the fridge to change out because I love the cool feeling. You can use the infusion for up to 24 hours, and the compresses 3-4 times a day.

Plantain is cooling and soothing. Selfheal is mildly anti inflammatory and restorative. Yarrow is used for circulation, fluid movement, inflammation balance; I used a small amount because it is stronger than the other herbs.

is it possible for my breasts to become more tender/sore just from stress? they normally get sore closer to my period, but i track my cycle and they aren't normally this painful this early. i can't feel any lumps but i'm nervous that i'm missing something. is this a sign of something bad? (for context, if it matters, i am on the larger-chested side, but not so large that they would normally cause me this pain)

Breasts can feel sore for a number of reasons that are entirely benign.

If it’s closer to your period, a lone instance of pain being higher or sooner isn’t unusual. If it’s nowhere close, then it’s less likely to be due to that. Hormonal fluctuations can cause tenderness, which means ovulation as well as menopause and birth control can cause tenderness.

Because stress affects our cycles at times, making us a little late or a little early (or missing a month if you are irregular or experiencing puberty or menopause), it’s possible your cycle is off to the point that breast tenderness is starting now and your period is soon to follow.

Additionally, size can cause pain to a certain degree. If you’re active enough to cause them to bounce frequently, especially without using bras or other supportive wear, you can cause them to ache.

But, using the wrong sized bras, binders, or other supportive wear can cause the aches too. So make sure you’re in the right size too. This isn’t just due to temporary aches, but also because this could eventually damage your breasts, lung capacity, ribs, etc.

You can also cause aches by “fiddling” with them too often. If you find yourself frequently being squeezed or your nipples sucked on, this can cause pain as well, but it shouldn’t last more than a day or two after activity.

At times, pain can be something more “serious”, such as an infected duct or other underlying (literally!) issue. But if you are young, not breastfeeding, don’t have a family history of breast cancer, and not of the type to brutalize your breasts that much, it’s less likely.
