Mastitis & Plugged Ducts

These were two unexpected and VERY unpleasant issues that began to creep up on me just 3 weeks after the birth of my daughter.  Actually it didn’t creep up at all - it actually happened very fast – one minute I was feeling fine and within a ½ hour, I was feeling horrible.  Like I had the worst flu of my life.  Fever, achiness - it seemed like there was pain everywhere.  And I had to take care of my new baby while I was feeling more horrible than I could ever remember feeling.  Finally we figured out that I had a breast infection.  I did the usual route of a round of antibiotics, which made me horribly sick to my stomach AND gave me and my baby thrush.  Way to add insult to injury!  I couldn’t figure out which was worse – the mastitis or how the antibiotics made me feel!  To further add to that, I got mastitis AGAIN just a few weeks later!  WTH!! 

I talked to a brilliant lactation consultant friend of mine who told me about Lecithin, a vitamin/mineral type of supplement that helps to prevent plugged ducts (one of the most common causes of mastitis).  I started taking that, and I used Poke Root this time around (I was unfamiliar with it the first time) and wow!  The Poke Root knocked the mastitis out by the next morning and with the use of the Lecithin, I never had another plugged duct or bout of mastitis again (and I breastfed my baby until she was 3 years old)!  Amazing, amazing stuff!  I have written about these two things extensively in several of my articles:

Thank you so much!  Your company's products have healed me during several times these past few years. Every product I have ordered and used has done exactly as it was intended to do and more! The first product I bought was Poke Root.  After my second son, I developed mastitis. The doctors prescribed me antibiotics which did nothing but mess me up more, I then developed DOUBLE MASTITIS!  And again they couldn’t help me. I was at a loss and through diligent research I found your company. Might I say that within a day my mastitis started to ease and by the 3rd day it was gone!!!!  Several years down the road I developed strep throat that did not respond to antibiotics either and all behold I took a day of Poke Root and by the 2nd day it was almost gone!  Now, fast forward to my 3rd pregnancy I developed PUPPS ;(  I went to 3 doctors that couldn’t help me. And then I thought maybe you could help!  And sure enough you had just what I needed!  The Healing Salve is divine!  I literally put it all over my body because I got the rash everywhere. It relieved the pain, burning, itchiness and dryness immediately! I apply it often because my skin is so damaged from 3 months of this!  And lastly, the Itch Relief tincture is working from the inside out on it. I sleep throughout the night now and don’t wake up from the horrible discomfort that PUPPS causes. My days are easier and I’m not grumpy anymore from the pain and discomfort.  No more tears for me!  I’m beyond grateful for your products, service and knowledge!  H.F.
