How I Healed My Breast Cysts Naturally

Finding a breast lump is scary business. I’d like to start this post by acknowledging the absolute terror of that experience along with gratitude that it wasn’t cancer.  I am well and happy to be sharing this story with all of you. Recently, I found two lumps, one large and one small. Though I had also found several small lumps in the past, they were never anything like this, as those turned out to be fibrocystic tissue.  

​These lumps were definitely different. One of them was huge, and there was no question that it was there and it was real. The morning after I found it, I even had a friend check it for me. After feeling it, she shrieked and jumped away from me. She acted how I felt...scared.


I had these two lumps, but my logical, rational self also knew that they didn’t have any of the “signs” of cancer.  The large one moved around really easily, it was smooth and round, and was kind of soft. Did I mention it was huge and I was scared?  My fear was intertwined with my already present physical and emotional fatigue. I found the lumps at the end of a really tough time and felt so incredibly overwhelmed by the idea of another big thing, more possible pain and potential loss. I was scared that the stress has been so much that I now had cancer.  

If you know me, you know that there aren't many things that take me into a doctor's office. This one did! When I first went in, the nurse practitioner told me that she “would feel comfortable telling her sister that it was fine and not to worry.”  She believed they were simple cysts. That made me feel better for like a minute. I was told to keep an eye on it through my menstrual cycle, see if it changed, and contact her in six weeks.  That was a long six weeks, but after the first day or two of paralyzing terror, the real me began to emerge. I started my “I’m going to heal this damn thing” process. 

There’s this part of me that emerges when I’m told that “there’s nothing that can be done and these things just happen.” My inner healer goes a little crazy and the late night research, connecting with other practitioners, tuning into myself, looking at my food choices, visualisations, and mantras began in full force.  The more research I did, the more I understood what my body was telling me. I was tired, run down, traumatized, lost and afraid. My blood wasn’t filtering properly. I was stuck structurally (I had tightness all throughout my chest and left arm as well). My liver was stagnant and energy was not moving through my body. No wonder my body had developed these two cysts!

Six weeks later, I went in for an ultrasound.  They were both simple fluid filled cysts. I was advised to leave them alone,  or if I continued to feel discomfort, I could pursue aspiration. Another big “no thanks”!  

I was deeply relieved and also determined.

So, I created the protocol below and followed it pretty religiously for a couple of months, and  continued with much of it for a total of 6 months. Everything that I read about dissolving cysts held true for me. Soon the cysts began to dissolve and shrink. The cysts continued to stay almost the same for several months and then one day I checked and they were completely gone!!!  I had the same friend feel for the cysts again and she couldn’t believe it. All of my practitioners were pretty amazed as well. Since dissolving the cysts, I have experienced the same sensation and tightness in that area several times since and just gone back to the protocol below to resolve it!

Here’s what I did....

Overview: 
From a natural medicine, or root cause perspective, cysts are like little garbage pails in the body.  When there are toxins in the body, or the lymphatic system has restricted flow, our bodies put toxins into a little package. This is the cyst.  Never forget the incredible intelligence of the body! To dissolve simple fluid filled cysts, the system needs to be cleansed out and the toxins need to be able to leave the body. 

Another way to view breast cysts is through Traditional Chinese Medicine and Liver Qi stagnation. I found this tremendously helpful as TCM address the body, mind and spirit. We develop Liver Qi stagnation though poor diet, toxins, frequent or strong emotional upsets, and stress. As you can imagine, TCM recommends that to address the symptoms of breast cysts, it is important to eat healthy, fresh foods, detoxify the body, clear emotional blocks, seek counseling, get regular exercise, and manage stress. Conventional treatment suggests something very similar!  I addressed this from all angles.

1. Nightly Bentonite Clay Breast Packs: 
To make a bentonite clay pack, make a thick slurry with either bentonite clay or zeolite clay and some coconut oil. The consistency should be like a think paste (think toothpaste).  Pack the past onto the breast on top of the lump, extending it out around the lump an inch or so. Then, take a cloth/plastic bandage and tape on with medical tape that is safe for skin. Sleep the whole night with this pack on your breast. Rinse off in the morning. Repeat every night. Upon waking, drink a lot of warm lemon water to flush your system.

2. Do this breast lymph massage three times a day:
This breast massage is super simple. I found this video online and it is great. It will get your lymph moving in your breast which will help to drain the toxins in your cyst. If your breasts tend to feel painful and/or fibrousy, just do this exercise and the pain will decrease significantly.  It really works. I did this breast lymph massage three times a day with frankincense, lavender, and lemon in a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba. I moved from significant breast tenderness to almost none after only a couple of days.

3. Follow a liver cleansing diet:
Food is medicine! To remove toxins and dissolve breast cysts, choose a whole food and easy to digest diet.  The goal is to get the body the nutrients it needs, as easily as possible, without creating additional strain, stagnation, or congestion for the liver, The body needs healthy fats, protein, fiber and lots of minerals! A liver cleansing diet requires less fat and fewer heavy proteins. To cleanse the liver, and therefore clean out the blood and lymphatic system, we need to increase our cleansing foods and decrease our building foods. Below are the basics for a cyst dissolving diet.  As always, listen to your body to determine what is best for you!
Foods to Avoid:
  • Sugar
  • Processed foods
  • Caffeine
  • Alcohol
  • Excess Dairy, consider using only aged/ fermented dairy or none at all
  • Gluten
  • Soy
  • Most grains, feel free to add sprouted quinoa or rice once per day
  • Too many starchy carbs
  • Processed meats and too much meat in general
  • Hydrogenated oils and too many oil rich foods (even healthy fats)
  • Strictly no processed foods
  • Chocolate
  • Bananas
Food to Enjoy:
  • Lemon and other citrus
  • Garlic
  • Fermented foods
  • Root vegetables and squashes
  • Leafy greens
  • Broccoli Sprouts, Cilantro, Parsley
  • Some fruit, especially green apples or berries
  • Avocado and other healthy fats
  • Cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, etc.)
  • Wild caught fish
  • Free-range chicken and turkey
  • Bone broth
  • Fresh pressed green and fruit juices (lots of these!)
  • Nuts, such as walnuts and almonds, preferably sprouted, but not too many
  • Seeds, such as pumpkin, chia and flax
  • Beets and beet greens
  • Tumeric
  • Tomato sauces
A daily diet of raw fresh green juice or raw vegetables can help cleanse the liver, blood, and lymphatic system.  Watch out here for digestive symptoms and move towards steamed vegetables if you develop spleen and digestive Qi deficiency. Be sure that all vegetables are organic and fresh. Juicing allows us to have the cleansing benefits of vegetables, with less strain on digestion. This is important for a stressed liver and digestive system! For juicing, add carrots, beets, cucumber, celery, cilantro, or parsley. For meals, add sweet potatoes, beet greens, spinach, garlic, citrus fruit, avocado, and tomato sauces into your diet whenever possible. Eat less meat and no dairy. Don't overdo it on nuts. Walnuts are the best nut for the liver. Lastly, add herbs such as milk thistle, dandelion, and tumeric.

4. Tune in and address the emotional cause: 
I found my breast cysts after a challenging, exhausting, and trauma filled time in my life. I knew that my emotional fatigue was affecting my well being and it was impacting me physically.  Over the years, I have referred back to Louise Hay's book "Heal Your Body" and her healing affirmations and emotional causes of disease have always been so spot and meaningful as a part of my healing.  Here's what I learned about the cysts in my left breast 

From Louise Hay:
“BREAST (left):Feeling unloved, refusal to nourish oneself. Putting everyone else first."

Affirmation: "I am loved and nourished by all around me"
​

Of course! I was in the midst of deep soul growth on learning to love myself.  I felt unloved by myself and others. I was deeply afraid. I had lost my sense of self, my connection to my sacred feminine.  I was caring for everyone else above myself and I had endured significant emotional trauma. Loving myself and prioritizing deeply nourishing my mind, body, and spirit was necessary for my healing.

I committed to the affirmation as well as a daily practice of self love, emotional clearing, and energetic cleansing. I committed to these 9 Daily Practices of Energy Cleansing.  I began tuning in regularly to my body and specifically my breasts.  I learned to feel the energy flowing through my left breasts or notice when it was not.  I acknowledged my emotions and deliberately released them.

5. Lifestyle and Exercise:
If you have breast cysts or liver qi stagnation, it’s time to get moving!  Moving stagnation, toxins, and blocked emotions requires moving your body. If you have liver stagnation along with blood deficiency, you will need to also be careful to get enough calories from your diet to not further aggravate the liver. In addition to exercise, find time to take it easy, listen to your body, and nourish yourself! If you have breast cysts, your body is giving you a clear message that you need to cleanse and move. Find a balance between action and rest. For more on cleansing the liver you can go HERE.

6. Additional ways to heal breast cysts through moving and transmuting energy: 
There are so many ways to shift energy in the body. Many people, myself included, stick to food as the best way to move energy and heal and as I said before, food is medicine! However, there are so many other ways to transmute negative or blocked energy in the body and access our innate ability to heal. For me, food is always a part of my healing, but my diet is rarely the problem. With these breast cysts, I knew that I needed to dig deeper.  I went to massage and chiropractic to open up my left chest and shoulder. I was amazed at how stuck my left side was and how long I had been ignoring that reality. The massage was excruciating and emotional. I was holding on to a lot! Going regularly for these treatments along with acupuncture and energy healing helped me to move the energy out of my breast and restore flow to my stomach and liver meridians as well as my lymphatic system.  As soon as all of the energy starting flowing again and I had cleaned out my system, the cysts dissolved!

This experience is a reminder to me of just how amazing the body is and how we are truly capable of healing from within! It’s so important to me that women know that they can heal breast cysts naturally and especially that we are all always able to activate our innate ability to heal!  We have infinite opportunities to tune in and listen. Our bodies are giving us messages and there's a reason that certain symptoms are showing up. If we listen, and pay attention to the physiology of the body process, while at the same time accessing our spirit, many times we are able to heal ourselves! 

Sending you all deep healing- Mitten

We women can never really be too sure when it comes to our health. If you ask me, we are inferior to men only in terms of physical ability. I say this, but I am not saying that we are entirely inferior to them, especially since we can do a lot. Our breasts are part of the things that we are going to have to deal with for the rest of our lives. We have to take proper care of our bodies.

Thank you for this helpful article. I am trying regular bentonite clay in the underarms, breasts and upper arms to help drain lymphatic fluid and remove toxins after having my implants taken out. Ive gone 100% raw and have removed the remaining toxic factors in my life. The breast massage is a good suggestion. I will definitely try it. I was just doing skin brushing instead. Do you know of any detox or wellness centers using the clay in their protocol?

Going 100% raw is not healthy. The body needs warm food too. Too much raw food is not balanced for a human. Spleen likes warm food and warm water.

Hi,

I am glad I came across your page. I found a cyst in my left breast only yesterday and spent the entire day and night stressing out. With current situation in the world, I was stressing out even more as I can't take anyone with me to the doctor's and my appointment is about a month away. But your article makes so much sense. My stress levels are high as I worry about my parents who are far away and I do feel unloved. Also, the self isolation has made my body stagnant. But I am going to do as much self healing as I can before my appointment to get the sucker out of me!

Thanks for the article 😊

Would you recommend sodium bentonite clay or calcium bentonite clay for this? Also, do you have a specific brand that you like?

In reading an article by Dr Axe, sodium bentonite is for industrial use so calcium bent. is what we need. However, I'd really like to know a brand recommendation, too. I was disappointed that you didn't get a response.

I have cysts in both breasts. On one I put a couple of drops if tea tree oil and coconut oil. It opened the cyst and a lot of pus came out. It was hard to get the wound to heal though. The cyst is much smaller and no longer painful. But the cyst in my left breast is huge and my breast is inflamed and incredibly painful. I'm afraid to do the same with it, but I read it can rupture internally, which could cause septasemia. I know I should be detoxing with my diet. I'm vegan, mostly plant based, but I eat too many potatoes and snack on crackers and dairy free yogurt at bed time. I'm not consistent with my breathwork either (learning to use breathing properly). I believe I have a stagnant liver too. Thank you. This article hit home. Any advice on how to stick to a detox? Many thanks.

Hi Monica- Oh I'm so sorry you are going through that! Sounds very painful! Yes, it sounds like you could used some deep cleansing and opening to clear out all of the residue and excess in your system. If you would like to join one of my group cleanses, that would probably be great for you and they are very affordable compared to individual client time. Just know that you are so worth it and doing this work now will support your wellness and vibrancy moving forward in your life. A big part of sticking to a detox is knowing that and believing in yourself!!!

These damn cysts are really a pain when you are someone with gender identity disorder. Many times I ask myself how come males don’t get cysts in their testicles? Why it has to be females, most of the times, the ones who have to suffer this type of situation? Why human females can’t be like most other female mammals who only grew breast when it is needed to feed their offspring?

THIS.IS.ME right now! Wow, I can't even tell you how much I appreciate this post, Mitten...though since you went through this you probably do understand how grateful I am. I have had some lumps and tenderness over the years, but just last week I started to get tightness and discomfort in my left arm/shoulder/neck/elbow...then 2 days ago discovered the BIGGEST lump I have ever had in my breast. It is like a soft boiled egg...with a smaller (harder) lump next to it, too. Pretty much exactly as you described it! Like fellow commenter, Neha, I am avoiding doctors/medical offices more than ever due to the pandemic (I avoid going and try to do home remedy/self care/alternative practitioner measures usually anyway...being highly sensitive, with Chronic Lyme doctors have typically done more harm than good for me in the past). I had also researched and come up with Liver Qi stagnation, so I am focusing on that...wishing I could see my acupuncturist, but instead I am doing acupressure on myself...as well as castor oil packs, Ayurvedic lymph oil, etc...will try clay, as you recommended. Thank you for the comfort and peace of mind this post brought me...I have had one family/life stress after another, pretty much every month since October, then the pandemic, racial suffering, etc., and my mind/body/soul has had enough. I am not surprised it is speaking out in this way, and I pray it will rebalance and resolve this latest "message." Sending love and gratitude your way! -Sharon

I have just had my ultrasound last week, he stop counting the right breast after reaching 30 cysts and the other breast had huge cysts in it. The left is becoming extremely painful as cysts are now in my arm pits. I am so glad I have come across this page. I am now searching for Chinese medicine and cleaning up my diet. I will be looking into massaging as well. There is so much pain on my left side at the moment any relief would be good.

Hi Tania,
I am right there with you. I have had cysts before, but never like this...one HUGE one and MANY small "collections" of them. I haven't had them checked out yet, but it is also my left breast. I am so curious how many MORE women are having this issue right now due to the collective stress we are all feeling. Not sure if you know about EFT/Tapping, but The Tapping Solution Ap (by Nick Ortner) has a specific script for breast issues. I have been doing it every day. Hope this is all behind us soon!

Hi Sharon! You are right that it seems like there is higher incidence of breast cysts or at least it seems that way right now! I always share with women that I have never once over the years had a healing breast client where she didn't experience some significant stress leading up to the cysts or diagnosis! I'm also so glad that you brought up tapping because it woks so well for healing breast cysts. I use a tapping method called RMM (Rapid Manifestation Method) which is an extension of EFT and helps to clear programs around self-nourishment on a deep level. I hope that you have amazing success.

I NEEDED this article so much. A week ago I was experiencing slight pain in my left Brest. I thought maybe I pulled something. When I did a self check I notice just a slight “bump” I recently removed my Brest implants a year ago due to Brest implant illness, to be honest I didn’t know if I’ve always had a “bump” or if it was something new because I’m still getting to know my implant free Brests. Anyhow a week later I went to urgent care, The doctor didn’t feel much of anything, I actually had to point out the area of concern and she said she wasn’t worry and it was most likely a cyst. She wrote me a Referral to get a ultrasound just to play it safe. I was still up tight about it but after reading this it’s made me feel more at ease. Do most woman feel slight pain with cysts?

Hi there! Have felt a couple lumps in my left breast recently and by the description they seem to be a benign kind of cyst. I was doing some research and stumbled across your blog here and I love it! I am all for natural healing and I have learned the body really can heal anything as long as you treat it right with using food as medicine. I have a quick question, when you had your cysts did it make your breast feel heavier or more dense than the other? My left breast is already normally larger than my right as well. I also have noticed these lumps at an extremely emotional and stressful time in my life so think that is what’s causing them. Thanks!

Hi Olivia! Yes, many women feel like there is more density in their breasts especially depending on the type of cysts! Fibrocystic tissue (different than simple fluid filled cysts) often feels very dense! And women almost always notice cysts after or during a very stressful time! Let me know if I can support you in any way! - Mitten

Olivia,
I had a similar experience to what you are describing. In June I noticed arm pain and swelling...the swelling was mostly in my upper arm, between my shoulder and elbow. The inner part of my elbow was visibly swollen, and there was pain and discomfort...even down into my wrist. It was like edema/lymphedema. I *think* maybe it was originally from a yoga injury (1-armed side planks, which I don't have the strength for), and not long after a huge breast lump appeared on the same side - left. It definitely concerned me at a time when I wasn't wanting to go into a medical building, and unfortunately the only info I could find online was that breast cancer can cause arm (mostly rotator cuff) issues, but NOTHING about the opposite happening. I finally felt safe going to acupuncture, and within 4-6 sessions the arm was 100% better, and he didn't feel it was anything serious. It is taking longer for the breast cyst to dissolve, but it is about 1/4 the size, thankfully. I did end up going for a mammogram and ultrasound a month ago just to be sure, and that confirmed it was a simple/slightly complicated cyst. I totally understand what you are going through, and hope it heals soon! I wrote a post about it on my social media account, including what I did/products I used to help it along. Feel free to check it out if it might help: @intendedwell. Take care, Sharon

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for your reply. I now am feeling like my left armpit area and around is a bit swollen as well and was actually just describing to a friend it feels like I strained my rotator cuff. Which I had done many years ago. So I’m a little worried now and debating on getting it checked out. I’m only 24 years old so trying not to worry too much and hoping it’s all because of the stress I’ve been under the past few weeks.

I totally understand, Olivia. I went through that phase with it, too...with my armpit swelling and burning. I think because of the shoulder/arm inflammation all of the lymph flow was blocked/backed up. Obviously, get it checked if you are concerned, but know that I experienced that, too (minus the rotator cuff surgery), but having scar tissue in that area from a past issue you had could be impacting things for sure. Good luck, and keep me posted! Thinking of you!

Hi Sharon,

Thank you again for your reply, what you said makes a lot of sense! I also just noticed a small bump on the edge of my collarbone close to my rotators cuff which has not been there before. Not sure if you experienced this at all, it seems like things are changing every couple of days for me. Thanks again!

Olivia,
I didn't have a lump near my collarbone, but I did down near my inner elbow, which completely freaked me out. The whole thing did, actually. Like you are saying, mine kept changing...even throughout the day. I think it was due to the distribution of fluid and how it shifts depending on the time of day, movement, etc. At some points I thought it was better so I could ease up on worrying, then it would get worse and I would panic. Unfortunately I rode that rollercoaster for about 2 months before it started to improve. Still, obviously get it checked out if you are worried. I know it is so hard! Also, if you know what EFT/Tapping is, I highly recommend The Tapping Solution Ap. They have a specific script for breast lumps and bumps. It really helped.

Hi Sharon,

Everything you said makes complete sense as to why things are changing so quickly. I have now started experiencing some swelling in my right collarbone but closer to my neck so I definitely think something is going on with my lymphatic system! I will definitely look into tapping and try it out. I did go ahead and schedule an appointment with an integrative doctor so hopefully I will get some more answers and a peace of mind. Thank you again for all your replies and advice!

Olivia,
I have been thinking of you! You don't have to thank me for the replies...I just want to help. I know how terrifying it can be! I had to try to remind myself that our bodies do seemingly strange, but super intelligent things. There is usually a good reason for the disruption, and our bodies usually get straight to work trying to heal it, but that doesn't make it feel any less scary! I am glad you have an appointment...after having mine checked out I stopped feeling it and analyzing it, and it started to get smaller even faster! It still puffs up the week before my period, but I am beyond grateful that it is improving...my arm and shoulder for that matter, too!!! Our stress levels AND posture/body usage have definitely taken a hit from this pandemic. Be kind, gentle, and patient with yourself. Keep me posted!
Take care,
Sharon

I had a cyst aspirated in my left breast about 6 years ago. It was full of benign old dead cells Suddenly its back and hurts like crazy in the same place. What canI do at home? Its intrmernal, and altho my breast looks swollen, it isnt visible from the outside. Ultrasound. Help. Holding my breast now about to cry it hurts so. No dr visit for two weeks. And I dont know if she does it or Il have to go elsewhere. I live in the middle of nowhere and what can I doin the meantime? I have used a heating pad and witchhazel. Thank you.

Wow, I stumbled upon this and my story is so similar to many of yours!
I've been getting pain, heaviness and lumpiness in my left breast for a couple of months now.
About a day or 2 after my cycle starts, it completely goes away. And then as I get close to mid cycle, it comes back!
I also have a pain/tightness in my left shoulder and I've been having pancreatic issues.
I finally went for an ultrasound and mammogram today and could see the black ovals on the screen!
What is also interesting is that both of my children only nursed on my left breast.
My left breast is noticeably bigger and has more breast tissue.
I have been so stressed out since covid hit and completely overwhelmed, working 6-7 days a week.
I will look into all your suggestions as I can't take this pain any longer!
Sending healing vibes to all you wonderful ladies and I wish us all cyst free breasts!

Hi Cathleen & All Ladies Here,
I feel like we are all family, or at the very least, friends or a virtual support group at this point! Coincidentally, or not really, an article came through my inbox yesterday, and I had to share...

https://www.happygutlife.com/2020/10/27/breast-pain-is-it-breast-cancer-or-this-heres-how-to-know-plus-heal/

As I mentioned in an earlier post I really believe the pandemic is creating more breast issues for women...for MANY reasons...obviously the STRESS, maybe less-than-optimal eating, AND I can't even count on my two hands the number of times I have worn a bra in the last 7 months...I have to wonder if that has caused structural stress/changes in my breast structure (even though I am small breasted). Also, I always used to start my day with a shower, and now my shower timing is all over the place (even occasionally skipped), and our bodies push out toxins while we sleep, so showering off to complete the detox (so we don't reabsorb) is very helpful.

Just my latest breast health musings...I hope everyone is hanging in there any doing okay!
XO,
Sharon

Thank you so much for this blog. It's really insightful. I was diagnosed with multiple breast cysts around July this year and I have been using Anna's wild yam cream and Castor oil packs, although I haven't been as consistent with the oil packs. I am mostly plant based but sometimes have processed food which I am trying to remove from my diet. I try having green juices but need to improve on this also. Since my scan 5 months ago, I notice that one of my cysts is increasing in size. What suggestions do you have for me Mitten? Especially when it comes to the Wild yam cream and castor oils. Should I continue with them or stop?

Hi there!

First, I’m so so happy I have stumbled upon this page, I’ve seen nowhere else explain just about exactly how I’ve been feeling. I’m 27 and have had cysts for years, however, this year they have really been painful. I get the arm tenderness and everything that everyone else has been saying. I went for an ultrasound and mammogram and everything was cleared. However, I’m wondering if you or anyone has experienced their lymph nodes actually swelling and tender due to moving the fluid? Mine are sensitive in general and react pretty easily. But this time after my breast cyst pain went away it went straight to my armpit and in my arm and my lymph nodes have seemed to swell occasionally depending on how bad the inflammation is from the cyst. I am having extreme anxiety over it, to the point where I can’t sleep. I do have healthy anxiety but it’s because of these symptoms, it makes me think the absolute worst. Any information would be extremely helpful.

Yes I have experienced that! I used oils to move my lymph and clear out inflammation. Remember that the axillary (armpit) lymph flows in and out of the breast. This is one system! I totally feel you and the lymph pain in the armpit always made me nervous. You can find the link to the breast oil that I make and use for myself everyday. It clears this for me in a day or two!

Hi Ashley,
I definitely can relate to your relief in finding this blog post!!! I was terrified back in June (you can see my comment from 6/21 above), and this post and the comments brought me a lot of reassurance. I still went for a mammogram and ultrasound in August, since things didn't improve as much as I had hoped (but since then those lumps have shrunk, thankfully).

It is such a coincidence that you commented when you did, because just a few days ago I discovered another HUGE lump, but this time in my right breast. Thankfully this time I KNOW it is new, because ever since I found this blog post I do DAILY breast massage in the shower, and I feel more confident that it will improve like on the left side. If I hadn't been monitoring daily I would be more worried that it had been growing in there, but it literally ballooned up overnight...like cysts tend to do. It really struck me what you said about lymph, because at the beginning of January I got back into yoga, and days before the new lump showed up I was doing a restorative routine/long held poses that really stretched my armpits (and I have chronically tight and locked shoulders - mostly from sitting all day at my computer doing work...so "cactus arms" is near impossible). Anyway, I too was wondering if activating this area pushed fluid into my breasts that got stuck...yoga triggered the lumps for me last time, too (and a majorly upsetting family loss).

Unlike you, I am 40, so I know my age is causing some hormonal shifts, but I really feel that the chronic, underlying stress of the pandemic (and resulting lifestyle/daily routine changes, etc.) is really messing with our hormones...I have ALWAYS been on-time (if anything, a little late) with my period, and last month it came after only 18 DAYS! I hope some of the amazing holistic/Functional women's doctors and researchers out there will start to write about how the pandemic has caused many women to have hormonal issues - breasts, periods, thyroid, etc...

Hang in there...good luck with your breast healing...I know the anxiety/fear/worry is the hardest/worst part!!!
Take care,
Sharon

Thanks so much for replying! I have a pretty firm mattress and I tend to sleep on my stomach with my arm above my head and I have noticed the side I sleep on definitely gets more tender. It’s funny that you mentioned the cycle thing because I too am usually right on the day and I have been early recently! Not a lot, but definitely not the exact day every month.

You are so right about the anxiety!

( i had the same experience of going through a very traumatic, stressful 3 years before this ultrasound) and i feel that like you this is a result of stagnation.. and all that pertains to neglecting oneself and ones health. , one is a little large.. though relatively benign.. The doctors i consulted advised me to have the big one rwmoved and tested just to make sure.. im scared of this thought and i started searching for natural treatments.. as i already once healed my gerd using only natural treatments.. so i believe in natural healing.. im glad i found this site.. and im starting my journey to healing...

Very deep thanks, Mitten, for this protocol. I can't stress enough how important what you have shared is. May I also add a recommendation? Dr. Terry Wahls has a protocol that was originally developed to treat MS and other autoimmune disorders. She is an MD who had an aggressive, debilitating form of MS. Wheelchair bound, she thought her way out of it and gained back her life. Her solution is very consistent with what you stated here. You detox and give the body all the nutrition it needs to repair. People are now finding it useful for a very wide variety of conditions. One of Dr. Wahls' friends had stage 4 cancer and did very well on the protocol. Because her protocol is consistent with yours, I am going to do them both simultaneously. :-) Thank you again. You're wonderful. Subdahla L

My left breast cysts are linked to my menstrual cycle. When I have passed ovulation try return and then when menstruating.

However emotionally, I'm very broody - I want another baby but due to a number of factors -high risk preg, finances, work, etc; we've held off. We use withdrawing and the counting the period cycle to prevent another pregnancy. So I know it must be diet, inactivity due to lockdowns and emotions causing my cysts.

So I've started eating fresh sage because when I did the breast massage the discharge smelt like old breastmilk. The sage has worked for me - no lumps after two days. I will try the other tips here.

Thank you for this! 4 months ago I found a lump in my left breast that turned out to be a cyst. About 3 weeks ago I found a new lump on the right. This one scared me really bad because it’s huge! I went in yesterday and it turns out thankfully to be another cyst. That’s 2 in 4 months though so I know some lifestyle changes need to be done. I as well am coming off of a very stressful time in my life. I also stopped working out about a year ago so I feel very stagnant.

I have a lump in my right breast that was discovered in June 2020. I had a mammogram and a ultrasound and they said it was a cyst. That year was super busy/stressful and I only thought about it during my cycle when it would really hurt. October 2021 my doctor wanted me go back and have have another mammogram and ultra sound. This time they say it is the same size but looks cloudier and they want to do a ultrasound needle biopsy. Because of my uncertainty of having this done I asked if I can have another ultra sound in February 2022. I've changed my diet and have started using castor oil packs and bentonite clay. I'm worried that they are still going to want to do the needle biopsy and I don't know if I should (or can) have it done. Anyone's thoughts on this procedure would be greatly appreciated. Trying not to worry and focus on the positives.
Thank you so much

I came across this as the only helpful article that didn’t tell me I would die now from these two mysterious small lumps that came out of nowhere. I really don’t want to go to the doctor I prefer natural health options so I’m going to try this. I’m currently breastfeeding my two year old and these lumps have me super stressed- I believe they are cysts. Since my two year old was born I have had some reactive lymph nodes (scanned) and they said they would probably go away after breastfeeding but really had no answers for me. I’m in search of a natural health place in FL that can do thermography for me. Have you ever dealt with thermography? What do you think about that as an option?

Camie,

I personally would prefer thermography but my allopathic dr wants none of it. Ultrasound would be my second choice but it hurt when I got it in Feb, 2020 before I had the pain. I think the tech was mad at me bc I didn't want a mammogram (radiation shooting into my breast!) so I've been putting off getting the ultrasound until I get rid of my breast pain and possibly shrink the mass. I did a lot of research on drugs that would be antifungal and anticancer which I was hoping she would try bc it wouldn't hurt and maybe help. She copied what I brought her and said she'd read them but haven't heard anything from her since. You can find a lot of info at knowthecause.com on thermography as compared to ultrasound and mammography as well as an antifungal approach. If you can find a dr near you who will let you get a thermogram, go for it!

Hi, I’m so grateful I came across your article. Just last Feb 2, 2022, I noticed a big lump on my left breast. I know this is unusual lump because it is quite hard, and big. My breast ultrasound will still be on March 8. But ever since I discovered this lump, and upon reading your article, I realized how there are various similar factors that happened to you that is also happening to me. I am also in the midst of emotional fatigue due to being unloved by my family, always putting the others 1sT before myself,to the point that I took for granted my diet. Always eating oily food, fast food, etc. Lot of realizations, and made me decide to follow the same protocol you did. This will be my 1st step to combatting this breast lump, of which Only me & my partner have knowledge about. I know I need to cleanse my mind, body and spirit as a starting point of healing. Please pray for me that my lumps will also dissolve naturally. Thank you again for your article. You never know how many people you’ve helped. Praying for you also from Philippines.

Hi, I’d like to share updates. I had my breast ultrasound last Mar12. And also had a breast specialist check the results and my breasts. I have 14 cysts, all benign. 10 at the right( all are small) while 4 at left. 1 is 3cm in size, and 2nd is 1.65cm. The specialist didn’t advise biopsy yet, but he did an aspiration on the 3cm cyst. The reason he did aspirate it, is so that to remove discomfort due to the big lump. But I was advised to always monitor and have ultrasound again after 6months. It was a relief that there is no need for surgery as of this time. I am having daily juice (celery+apple) right after I wake up, before eating or drinking anything. I noticed that this caused me to always want to sleep. I’ll give updates again.

I could tell things were getting worse with the lump, and unusually for me, I began eating chocolate, drinking beer, more caffeine.

Hi I want to add my own experience. I found I had breast cysts and nipple retraction and took on a regime of breast care including taking vitamin E and evening primrose oil in the morning. I would also gently use a jade roller usually used for the face to encourage better circulation and I found the best result when rolling gently upward towards the areola. I would also recommend some anti retraction massage in conjunction with this to encourage tissue to support and grow towards the top of the breast. Treat yourself gently and in time (2 years for me) things should improve. I also had weight loss so had to build up supportive tissue again with light exercise.

Thank you for the tips! I just googled 'anti retraction massage breasts' and got nothing. What is this?

Years ago when I first got lumps ginger tea (real ginger) was recommended. For 20 years I did this and all the lumps disappeared. Then I stopped drinking it. And... I now have a large lump. Huge stresses this past year. So I've begun drinking tea again. A big chunk of ginger in a thermos that soaks overnight with sugar. It's strong. I resumed a month or so ago. There's an improvement. I find during times of high stress that breast is pretty uncomfortable.
