Breast massage is a rhythmic, light touch massage using oils suitable to your skin. It involves gentle massaging of tissues in circular strokes. If properly executed, it can help to identify lumps/ potential breast abnormalities.

Benefits

Massaging the breast is helpful to stimulate blood flow to the mammary glands, helping to release oxytocin, a hormone which inhibits stress and depression. Breast massage can provide relief from swelling, support milk production and blood flow through the breast and may make the whole process of breast feeding easier and less painful. It may also help with lymphatic drainage. Breast massage may also help to prevent and treat issues like breast engorgement, plugged milk ducts, or mastitis, which is an infection of the breast tissue.
