Mastitix-TRILIGHT
Mastitix (Echinacea herb, German chamomile, Red root, Baptisia root, Boneset, Yarrow, Elderflower and Usnea)
This formula used to treat breast infections contains herbs to fight infection as well as those to stimulate lymphatic flow to cleanse the body of the infection. Breast infections are best treated with complete rest, a glass (8 ounces) of water each hour she is awake and nursing baby often (no more than 2 hours between nursies) on affected breast (do not neglect the other breast, though, or you will be facing another infection in a few days). Clogged milk ducts showing a red, sore spot on the breast, if promptly treated with nursing, rest and water will help mom avoid the need for even such a great herb formula as Mastitix!
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea, E. angustifolia) - Used in this formula for immune stimulating and tissue-healing properties. Contraindicated for persons with chronic, auto-immune disease.
German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla, M. recutita) - We included this great herb for antiinflammatory purposes. Chamomile also has antidiabetic action, some phytoestrogenic effects that may be a cancer preventive for estrogen-dependent and estrogen-independent cancers. Exerts an antispasmodic action on the gastrointestinal tract. No known contraindications.
Red root - Red root is an excellent stimulant to get a sluggish lymphatic system moving. This is why we include it in our mastitis formula. Safe for use as intended.
Baptisia root (Baptisia tinctoria) - This herb is also called Wild indigo and is used for its potent antimicrobial and lymphatic cleansing properties. Baptisia also reduced phlegm and is good for persistent infections not responding to other milder herbs. Do not exceed 3 teaspoons of a single of baptisia daily, as high doses can cause vomiting. In the amount in this formula at the recommended dosage, this should not pose a problem.
Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) - Boneset has been studied for its ability to increase both granulocytes and macrophages (white cells) in our immune system. When combined with echinacea and baptisia, boneset also can increase phagocytosis (the process by which our white cells literally "eat up" the invading pathogen). This herb should only be used for short periods of times of acute infections, definitely not on a daily basis for long-term use. Persons with liver problems should not consume this herb.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) - Useful for loss of appetite, dyspeptic ailments such as mild, spastic discomforts of the GI tract. We use it in this formula for its astringent properties and usefulness in fighting infections when combined with echinacea and elderflowers. Contraindicated in persons with allergies to members of Compositae family.
Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) - Although elder is best known for use in treating cold and flu, we use it here for the general achiness associated with breast infections. No known contraindications.
Usnea (Usnea spp.) - Antimicrobial and antiinflammatory, although primarily used in mouth and throat infections. No known contrindications.
Mastitix may be taken 1/4-1/2 teaspoon every 2 hours during the acute phase of the infection. When symptoms begin to subside, begin weaning off the herb formula by increasing the time between administration by one hour each time while continuing to nurse, nurse, nurse!
