You're The Tits! So Let's Take Care Of Them

If Breast Cancer hasn’t directly affected you than the odds are you know someone that it has and you also probably know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. As a massage therapist one of my jobs is to educate and today I want to share the importance of detoxing your breast tissue and 6 other ways to naturally improve your breast health.

The Lymphatic System belongs as part of the circulatory system and aids in removing harmful waste and toxins from our bodies. Our breast tissue is composed of mostly fat cells which act as areas of storage in the body including storage for toxins. Being an area of high concentration for toxic build up, tumors develop more frequently here than any other area besides the skin.

One thing people don’t realize is that breast tissue actually mimics the menstrual cycle.

During a woman's menstrual cycle the uterine wall sheds, which detoxes the unnecessary tissue from the body as does the breast tissue that builds up then gets detoxed through the lymphatic system.

Receiving Lymphatic Drainage helps naturally stimulate the Lymphatic System helping reduce PMS symptoms and the accumulation of toxins.

Besides going and receiving Lymphatic Drainage here are 6 other natural ways to improve your breast health.

6 Ways To Improve Your Breast Health

1. Dry skin brushing - Dry skin brushing is used to help promote lymphatic flow so making this a daily practice around our breast helps detox the breast tissue.
