6 Amazing Things to Know About Breasts
Breasts want freedom.
Bras restrict the movement of lymphatic fluid through the breasts, underarm, and shoulders, thus causing toxins to build up in the breast tissue.
Underwire bras are the worst culprit, as the metal also can disrupt the energy flow through the breast area.
A recent French study has shown that women who don't wear bras actually have perkier breasts even as they age.
Exercising, dance, and rebounding without a bra also allows the body's movements to support lymphatic flow and proper drainage of the breasts.
The natural movement of the breasts as the body exercises and moves is another essential component to lymphatic health in the breasts.
Breasts need massage.
There is no muscle tissue in a women's breasts, so breasts need assistance to enhance circulation through the breast.
A woman's breasts are mostly fat tissue along with milk ducts, connective tissue, nerves, and lymph glands.
Self breast massage is an important regular practice for women to support their blood and lymph circulation and reduce build-up of toxins and hormones in the fatty tissue of the breasts.
Massage your breasts daily with a natural cold-pressed vegetable oil, such as coconut, almond, or jojoba oil.
You can also add pure essential oils such as rose, jasmine, or clary sage to your massage oil base.
Gentle self massage in which you get to know what your breasts feel like, notice any changes, and use gentle lymphatic and circulatory movements to enhance health.
Breasts are hot.
It has been well-documented that a woman's breasts will synchronize with her newborn baby to become the perfect temperature.
When a mother and baby are skin-to-skin postpartum, her breasts will naturally adjust their temperature to regulate the baby's body temperature optimally.
A mother of twins will have each of her breasts match the ideal temperature for each one of her twins.
A women's breasts are more reliable and efficient than any baby warmer. So breasts are totally hot - just not in the way people usually talk about.
Breastmilk has a gazillion medicinal uses.
Breastmilk is pretty much the most amazing food substance available to mankind.
Mother's milk is completely unique and not possible to replicate (despite what you may have heard from the formula companies).
It actually changes minute by minute, day to day, to provide exactly the right nourishment and immunities that a baby needs as determined by the breast through receiving information from the baby's saliva on the areola.
There are over 400+ identified nutrients in human breast milk, including probiotics and an abundant source of stem cells.
The first milk that comes out is colostrum, which is rich with immune factors and is considered to be "liquid gold", and extremely important for the life-long health of the baby.
Breastmilk is also used by wise mamas for many purposes including putting on diaper rash, earaches, pink eye, sore throats, and many other healing needs.
When a women breastfeeds the breastmilk bathes her milk ducts as it passes through to her baby, thus providing increased breast health and preventing breast cancer in direct relation to how long she nurses.
Breasts are a lot like canaries.
You've heard about the canary in the coal mine?
Miners would take canaries down in the mines with them, because the birds were so sensitive that if the environment was toxic the canaries would die, and then the miners would know to get out of there immediately!
Breasts are extremely sensitive, they receive information from the environment and their tissues collect toxins and hormones, like jet fuel and flame retardants.
When breastfeeding, the saliva from the baby is absorbed into the areola and the breasts then immediately respond by providing the nutrients and immune factors that the baby needs based upon the breast's incredibly sensitive receptors.
Breast cancer is now the most common form of cancer for women in the US, and it's not because breasts or our genes are the problem.
Our breasts are the canaries letting us know that our environment is toxic and we must make changes in our health, diets, exposure, and detox.
Due to the over 70,000 chemicals now used in the US over the last 100 years, we are living in a toxic soup and exposed to chemicals in our air, food, water, homes, cars, clothes, and more.
Our breasts are letting us know that we need to create a healthy change for our longevity and the future generations.
Breasts are beautiful.
Your breasts are perfect for you.
All kinds of breasts are beautiful.
Breasts change in shape and size over life, and that's okay.
Some people like large breasts, others prefer small breasts, and some like medium sized.
Whatever shape or size of your boobs is just right.
Love your breasts!
They are amazing!
In Mongolia, when a baby fusses, everyone lifts up their shirt and shakes their breasts for the baby, and the baby calms down and looks around amazed. Everyone laughs and smiles shaking their boobs, including mom, grandma, and grandpa too!
Many blessings,
