This is not "herbals" but I think that a lymphatic massage might help here.
 There is obviously some blockage that is causing the recurrence.  I have
had a couple of mothers with blocked areas of the breast, which drained
with lympathic massage.

The other suggestion, of course, is lecethin.  Lecethin is a food product
and, even if it is not the problem here, it would not hurt her to take it.
