Sorry I'm unable to paste the link here, so pasting the points alone.<br><br>

<b>Make a lavender tea tincture:</b>;Take 4;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Stash-Premium-Organic-Lavender-Tea/dp/B003AT656G/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1465049599&sr=8-11&keywords=organic+lavender+tea&linkCode=ll1&tag=mamanatural-20&linkId=84a6ed71e5a03d2414bb794caf150e61">Lavender tea bags</a>;and put into 2 cups of hot water. Let sit covered for 10-15 minutes. Soak a wash cloth or paper towel in tea mixture and apply the wet cloth to breasts. (You can also apply the used tea bags to breast tissue.) Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. If you don’t have Lavender tea, you can use real;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=organic+aloe+vera&linkCode=ll2&tag=mamanatural-20&linkId=6167e53a8a7dff6ba1a74de5d7665285">aloe vera</a>instead.<br>
<br>
<b>Apply coconut oil:</b>;Massage;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFZFVW6/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00BFZFVW6&linkCode=as2&tag=mamanatural-20">this coconut oil</a><b>;</b>around the entire breast, up into the arm pit, with a special focus on the clogged duct area. You can also apply to any cracked nipples. When I did this, the tissue instantly softened a bit, but, more;importantly, the pain let up.<br>
<br>
<b>Use potatoes:</b>;Apply coconut oil (see above) and then place thinly sliced organic potatoes to the breast with the clogged duct. Place them all around the breast, and put on a bra to hold the potato slices in place. (You can also “grate” the potatoes.) Place on breast and cover with a clean cloth. I know this sounds weird, but trust me on this one. Leave on for at least 1 hour. Replace with fresh potatoes as needed.;<br>
<br>
<b>Nurse using this technique:</b>;Lay baby on a blanket on the floor or bed. Get on your hands and knees above baby (bridge pose), and gently drop to your elbows. Let her nurse with your breast hanging down directly into her mouth. This position has gravity working for you. Try to point baby’s chin to the clogged duct, as this has the greatest force.<br>
<br>
<b>Try sunflower lecithin:;</b>Consume;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BHZ71G/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003BHZ71G&linkCode=as2&tag=mamanatural-20">sunflower lecithin</a>, from a non-GMO source, as directed on the bottle. This can thin the milk and help prevent “stickiness” which can cause clogged ducts in the first place. Some moms continue to take this supplement as a;preventative step. It’s good for brain function, which may help with mamas<br>
<br>
<b>Try phytolacca:;</b>Take;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00028O0CE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00028O0CE&linkCode=as2&tag=mamanatural-20">phytolacca</a>;as directed on bottle.;This homeopathic remedy stimulates the lymph system and can help to fight inflammation and infection.<br>
<br>
<b>Eat garlic:;</b>Eat 1 raw garlic clove mashed every two hours until pain is gone. I find it doesn’t taste as bad if I add a little raw honey and water and choke it down that way. This can help ward off mastitis.<br>
<br>
<b>Drink pineapple juice:</b>;Drink 1 cup of pineapple juice daily (not from concentrate). The;bromelain in pineapple helps to reduce inflammation and the chance for clogged ducts. Kelsey, a reader below, swears by it!<br>
<br>
<b>Take probiotics:;</b><a href="http://www.aafp.org/afp/2011/0201/p311a.html">Research shows</a>that probiotics

Don't worry it's part of Breastfeeding journey, there are lots of home remedies do try, cold compress, hot water bath, keeping frozen cabbage leaves or frozen potato slices will help. Immediately feed the baby is football position. Search in Google what is football position,if I have a pic I will share it here.
