To massage your breasts move your fingers
lightly from the nipple downwards, then upwards,
then sideways.
Self Breast Massage
Breast massage has been used
in beauty parlors and
massage parlors, as a means
of breast growth promotion
and healthy lymphatic
drainage. It is also
practiced as a post
operative therapy for women
who have undergone
mastectomies and breast
surgery as it helps in
breaking down scar tissues
and even healing tissue
regeneration. Here is a step
by step procedure to help
you practice self breast
massage in the privacy of
your home.
Self breast massage should
be done at least twice a
week. You can do it on bare
skin or by using some
vegetable oil to move more
comfortably. However, stay
away from mineral based or
scented oils.
- Starting from the
nipple, push downwards
with the three longer
fingers of your hand.
Make sure the movement
is done with less
pressure, that is not
more than, what you
would apply to your
eyelid. Deep pressure
can flatten the
lymphatic vessel and
stop the flow of toxins
and fluids. For
effective results make
this stroke really slow.
Remember, massage is not
all about squeezing some
muscle it is just
putting the right
pressure on the right
area.
- Next, gently massage
the breast in a kneading
motion, by lifting and
pressing movements.
- Carefully use your
hands to slowly twist
the breast in a
clock-wise and
anti-clockwise
direction. Make sure not
to put too much tension
on the breast.
- Finally, rest your
palms on the breast in
such a way that they
don't cover the areola
and area facing
downwards. Then move
your palms downwards so
that the fingers rub
against the side
surfaces of the breast.
This should not be done
on the nipple, as it may
spoil its shape.
- To make the breast
firmer, practice the
breast lift technique.
In this procedure, the
breasts are lifted
skywards, while placing
both hands on the
breast, from the upper
to the lower side. The
breast is released when
it is as full stretch.
Repeat it at least 5
times on each breast

. It is believed that the breasts can store
many chemicals within the fatty tissue and
because the breasts are largely constrained
within a bra for many hours a day the body has
no way of flushing out these toxins.
It is known that the breasts can store quite
high levels of chemicals from our environment.
Studies of human breast milk have shown a quite
alarming tendency for traces of household
cleaning products to be present for example. It
is believed that there could be a very real
connection with the onset of breast disease from
these toxins.
The purpose of breast massage is to help flush
out these toxins via the lymphatic system, and
help bring nutrients to the tissues.
| The magnitudes of filtration
and absorption are not equal. The
net filtration of fluid out of the
capillaries into the interstitial
compartment is greater than the net
absorption of fluid back into the
capillaries. The excess filtered fluid
is returned to the blood stream via the
lymphatic system. In addition to its
roles in digestion and immunity, the
lymphatic system functions to return
filtered plasma back to the circulatory
system. The smallest vessels of the
lymphatic system are the lymphatic
capillaries (shown in yellow). These
porous, blind-ended ducts form a large
network of vessels that infiltrate the
capillary beds of most organs. Excess
interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic
capillaries to become lymph fluid. |
