are exposed to daily from our personal care products. Preventing the sweating process prevents the breast tissue from draining properly into the axillary nodes and can create a toxic buildup. Using a healthy, all natural, aluminum free deodorant is a great start to encourage proper lymph flow. Just like your food label, the deodorant you choose should have a short list of ingredients. Look for brands with baking soda or charcoal. These ingredients will neutralize the bacteria that causes body odor but still allows the sweating process that is nec- essary for detoxification.

3. Castor oil packs. You may have heard of castor oil packs for liver detoxifica- tion, but this method can also aid in the detoxification of breast tissue. Castor oil is traditionally used to support the lymphatic, circulatory and immune sys- tems. It has unique immune enhancing effects because of its ability to improve lymphatic flow. Castor oil packs are also great for sore, tender breasts and clogged lymph. This detoxification method can be done 1-2 times a month or as often as you feel is necessary. (Consult with your physician if you’re currently dealing with a breast challenge for how often this should be performed relating to your circumstance). When choosing a castor oil, it’s best to pur- chase one that is organic, cold pressed, hexane free and stored in glass.

4. Dry skin brushing. The skin is the largest organ and it’s responsible for a quarter of the body’s detoxification, so its ability to remove toxins via the lymph system is very important. Dry skin brush- ing also improves skin appearance due to the shedding of dead skin cells. What does this have to do with breast health? When lymphatic fluid begins to slow down or become stagnant, estrogens from the breast area cannot be removed and inflammation results. This can cause breast tenderness, lumps in the breast or under the arms. Dry brushing is best done in the morning before showering. Always choose a natural bristle brush, apply light pressure when brushing, and focus on areas where lymph nodes are concentrated such as the upper outer portion of the breasts and the armpits.
5. Go wireless. Stop wearing underwire bras and bras that are constricting. Underwire bras are very constricting to breast tissue and clog the lymph in this area. If your breasts are tender, red, or your shoulders have indentations when
