I have gigantomastia and tried using prickly pear cactus cut length wise to 
cover my overly grown breasts... unfortunately for me, this did not work.  But 
- it could be tried with someone who is engorged or experiencing mastitis.

The herbalist I saw said that prickly pears are the best fluid extractor, 
then graded potatos and last comes cabbage.  Interesting to note:  she said red 
cabbage is better than green.  Anyone tried red?  

Other areas call prickly pear cactus - elephant ears...
