A few weeks ago I suggested to the same woman that she apply olive oil to
the nipple area, and she seems to be happy with the results. She wants the
breast shields to keep her nipple area from sticking to the bra.
I will pass on the other homeopathic "treatments" to her for future
reference.
I would like to ask an ethics question however, because the woman teaching
my course has stated quite clearly that LC's are not supposed to employ
alternative medicine. Where does one cross the line between home remedies
and alt. medicine?
