Before You Begin *
This guide reflects patterns commonly seen in mothers experiencing recurrent duct congestion or inflammatory sensitivity.
Milk flow restriction is often mechanical and inflammatory, not a failure of supply.
Herbal support complements consistent milk removal and medical evaluation when necessary.
This is education- not a replacement for medical care. Consults are available if needed.
With care,

Why Duct
Congestion Happens
Restricted flow can result from:
• Incomplete emptying
• Pressure from tight bras or positioning
• Inflammatory response
• Sudden feeding schedule changes
• Stress-related letdown delay
Congestion is a flow issue — not a supply failure.
Start Here First
• Remove milk frequently (every 2–3 hours)
• Use gentle breast massage toward the nipple
• Apply warmth before feeds and cold compression between feedings /pumpings
• Avoid aggressive deep tissue pressure
• Vary feeding positions to improve drainage
Consistency restores movement.
Your Duct Health Needs Movement, Not Force.
If you’re experiencing clogged ducts, tenderness, or recurring congestion, your milk may not be draining efficiently.
Milk stasis can lead to inflammation and discomfort.
The goal is restoring smooth movement.
When To Seek Additional Support
If you experience:
• Fever
• Flu-like symptoms
• Severe redness or worsening pain
Seek medical evaluation immediately.
Herbal support is complementary — not a substitute for care.
