When they hear the term "breast massage", many women may think that it is a routine check-up to prevent cancer in time. In fact, breast massage is a special kind of routine massage, which is usually not on the various spa lists because a good portion of women find it a bit embarrassing.
However, this type of massage is a practice of self-love first of all. Breast massage also has benefits such as:
- May relieve pain;
- Improves blood circulation and helps if you are breastfeeding;
- May relieve swelling;
- Can relieve stress.
How to act?
It is advisable to use an oil as a base, such as sesame oil. You should first start by massaging the nipple in a circular motion and then move towards the rest of the breast. It is important not to put too much pressure, especially if you feel pain.
Next, move the movements to the outside of the breast, in the area near the armpits and shoulders. Massage the neck, chest and shoulders. Finally, take a warm shower.
In general, it is safe to practice breast massage, even if you are breastfeeding. Just consult your doctor first, if you have a condition that makes breastfeeding painful.
