Our breasts, the ripeness of womanhood, the cherished tender tissues that embody both sensuality and sustenance, have for many, become a burden. Our A, B, C and double D cups are lifted, separated, inflated: exaggerated to cartoon proportions, poked, prodded, examined and enshrined. Breasts expand and contract, they ebb and flow with the moon, and the hormonal tides of birth. They are strapped down and pushed up – all the while being discouraged from their biological calling – breastfeeding.
Our breasts receive misguided, Las Vegas adulation, while their biological purpose gets shrouded. Breasts, along with their under-valued role of sustaining life in babies, are also, as it turns out, canaries in a coal-mine, detecting our environmental invasions and storing the toxins of our trespasses for decades. They are barometers for the changing atmosphere of our planet and our bodies.
It seems to us that our breasts could use a break.
A relaxed breast massage with our monoterpene-rich Breast Massage Oil gives your breasts some breathing space. This massage oil blessed by broccoli seed, cumin seed, calendula, Saint John’s Wort blossom, frankincense, grapefruit, rose otto, laurel, cypress, yarrow, ylang, and chamomile work synergistically to absolve accumulation, flow the fluids, enhance the skin. Be your breasts’ best friend.
Breast Massage
Breast massage may be performed at any point in the menstrual cycle depending on your comfort. Our breast tissue extends from the breastbone in the center of the chest to the underarms, and from below the collarbone down to the sixth or seventh rib.
Put 1-2 drops of Breast Massage Oil on each hand and place your hands under the breasts. Massage inward and upward in a circular motion, slowly covering the entire chest. Use this time to become familiar with how your breasts feel.
Additional best breast practices include: dry brushing, ensuring excellent nutrition including dietary iodine and magnesium, balanced intestinal flora with fermented foods and probiotics, avoiding aluminum, eating organic, real food, and only caring for your body with authentic, organic botanicals.
