Noncyclical pain has been found to be much less common than cyclical pain, and its causes can be very difficult to identify.
Here are some home remedies for treating cyclical pain
1.Home therapies
Medical practitioners have advised that applying cold compresses or heating pads to the breasts can help reduce cyclical breast pain.
Additionally, taking a warm bath with soothing essential oils, like rosemary or lavender can help relieve the pain as well.
It has also been advised that wearing loose cotton clothes and massaging breasts in the shower with soap can help bring relieve breast pain.
2. Lifestyle changes
Some experts have also suggested that breast pain may be improved by:
- Reducing your intake of caffeine, which is found in tea, coffee, and cola
- Reducing your intake of saturated fat, which is found in butter, crisps, and fried food
- Not smoking (if you smoke)
However, the benefits of making these changes have not been scientifically proven.
3. Herbs
In addition to the solutions stated above, herbal remedies have long been proven to be a natural and economical method of treating breast pain.
And two popular herbs for relieving cyclical breast pain are chaste berry and soy. Chasteberry helps reduce prolactin levels, which in turn reduces breast pain.
On the other hand, soy contains phytoestrogenic compounds, which raise estrogen levels and ease breast pain, making it popular among menopausal women.
Other nutrient-rich food that can help relieve breast pain includes Salmon, avocados, spinach, kale, and guavas.
