How much primrose oil?  Is it a tea?  I've got to be honest, I've never
used herbals, but I have a patient , a physician, who has deep breast pain
(2nd child, had same problem with the first).  We've tried everything and
she's seen an MD who is also an IBCLC.  I think she'd try anything by now.

I have recommended evening primrose oil for women with deep breast pain.
This was froma case study I read many years ago.

The first woman I tried this on was a medical officer so I could be
really frank with her and say this was based upon a case study. What was
interesting was her report was that the pain really took a week to start
settling and then was completely gone by a month on the evening primrose
oil. She rang me back after her second baby having had the same breast
pain with a similar response to the evening primrose oil.

The problem is that the number I see or case discuss with others is
very limited ie probably 2-3 a year. So this is no sound practice.


I wonder if there are a range of causes of the deep breast pain and we
are using a bit of the hit and miss approach.
