Clogged milk channels
If you’re weaning your baby and you’ve got clogged milk channels, and you wish to drive the milk back, this might help:
- Rub your breasts and armpits with white camphor oil.
- Put a poultice with warm green soap water on and change it as soon as it cools.
If you want the lactation to decrease, it might help to drink sage tea. Pour 1⁄4 l (~8.5 fl oz) of cold water over 1-2 tsp of sage. Slowly bring it to boil and let it steep for a few minutes before you strain it. Drink a cup three times a day.
