Homeopathy: Treatment of breast infection

This is about a young woman aged about 27 years, she works for me as domestic help. Recently she gave birth to a baby boy. One day she did not turn up for work. On enquiry I found that the baby was unwell. Next day she came and told me that the child was unwell because her breasts were engorged and she was in a lot of pain and she may have infected the baby. She was not being able to feed the child properly. The milk was plenty, but the pain was preventing her from breast feeding the child. She went to a doctor and was given medication and lotions. She took the medicine for three days which included medication for the child who had had fever. However, there was no improvement in her condition and the pain continued for another two days. She then asked me to give her some homeopathic medication for her condition. On the morning of April 23, 2013 at 10am, I gave her Bryonia 30c. She was advised to take a dose every half hour till the pain subsided, to be reviewed thereafter. She came to work at 5pm, but had taken only 5 doses of the medicine. However, the pain had reduced and she had breastfed the baby 3 times. She has been advised to continue Bryonia and massage the breasts with coconut oil or til oil or “desi ghee” (fat made by processing butter).

The next morning her pain had reduced. In about ten days she was perfectly fine.
