Breast Care Rituals

Breast self care rituals are a beautiful way for you to create ceremony around honouring yourself. Breast health imbalances often represent the refusal to nourish ourselves, whether it’s physically, emotionally or spiritually. It is a woman’s tendency to give and look after others while neglecting her own needs. The following practices will help you to tune in and carve out some time to nourish and love yourself.

Breast Massage

Breast massage is great way for not only improving flow of blood and lymph circulation but it’s wonderful for moving stagnant energy and emotions.

Breasts contain very little muscle tissue, which restricts the flow of lymph. When lymph becomes stagnant, toxins are retained and proper nutrition of the breasts is inhibited. Our breasts contain an abundance of lymph vessels, which are responsible for draining toxins from the breast tissue. Important lymph nodes reside under the armpits and upper chest area and are responsible for filtering harmful substances and contain important immune cells which fight off the bad guys.

The health of our lymphatic system is intimately connected to our breast health.

Breast Mask

Ingredients

Hemp Seed Oil
Dandelion root powder or tincture
Reishi mushroom powder
Turmeric powder
A few drops of laurel or frankincense essential oil

Instructions

Mix ingredients and form a paste. Use your intuition to guide you to each ingredient’s quantity.
Apply and wait for it to dry. I like to leave mine on for about 20-30 min.
Visualize a white light surrounding your breasts and mentally recite “My breasts are divinely loved and healthy. I love, honor and accept myself.”
Do a quick breast massage afterwards to help clear any toxins and apply a nourishing breast oil.
