In addition, having an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, the bovine uterus reduces swelling of the glandular tissues and pain syndrome.
Additional nutrients are vitamin C and flavonoids. The main treatment for mastopathy by the hogweed is due to phytohomones, which inhibit the production of estrogens. As a result, normalization of the qualitative composition of hormones in the blood is observed, thereby reducing its effect on glandular tissue.
It is not recommended to take the bovine uterus during pregnancy, during lactation, with obstruction of the fallopian tubes and the pathology of the blood coagulation system.

Treatment of mastopathy celandine
The purgator contains alkaloid substances, amines similar to histamine, flavonoids, tannins and vitamins C and A. Some alkaloids possess a morphine-like property, due to which the celandine can minimize pain in mastopathy. In addition, they have the antitumor abilities necessary for this disease.
Vitamins have an antioxidant effect and inhibit the development of malignant tumors.

Treatment of mastopathy with hemlock
Hemlock is used to treat many diseases, among them - mastopathy. In order to achieve the necessary effect, one must adhere to certain rules. Hemlock must be collected as soon as it blooms.

This combination provides a more powerful therapeutic effect.
Treatment of mastopathy with a hemlock is carried out, beginning with the 1st drop on a glass of water. Each day the dose increases by 1 drop, and starting from the 15th day - it also decreases. Some sources suggest increasing the dosage to 30 drops for a larger volume of water, but there may be side effects in the form of dizziness, headache, nausea and weakness.
Treating mastopathy with a golden mustache
Golden mustache is known in alternative medicine as a powerful healing plant, the juice of which contains a huge amount of flavonoids (kepferol and quercetin) and phytosterols, namely active pigments and tannins. Quercetin has the activity of vitamin P, has an anti-tumor, diuretic effect and is able to relax the muscles. Also, the substance tones up the body as a whole and strengthens the walls of the blood vessels. Treatment of mastopathy with a golden mustache is based on its ability to normalize the hormonal background, acting on estrogens through phytohormones.

The most effective is a fresh burdock, but if properly dried, it will retain its healing properties for much longer. It is enough to first simply dry the mug in the oven, and then dry it in the usual way.
Treatment with burdock mastopathy is justified by the vitamin C and carotene entering into it, which act on the gland tissues as powerful antitoxic agents. As a result of the presence of diuretic properties there is a decrease in edema and pain syndrome.

Despite such differences, the method of preparation is the same for them. To begin with, pick berries at the end of summer or in September, rinse thoroughly and dry. Next, lay the elderberry layer approximately 15 mm thick, and top with a sugar layer. So you need to fill the bank.
Closing tightly the vessel, you should leave it in the refrigerator for a week. If there is not enough low temperature, a white coating can form in the bank. After a week of insisting, it is necessary to filter the product, squeeze the juice and send it back to the refrigerator.
Treatment of mastopathy elderberry is carried out in two ways, depending on the variety of berries. So, if you used a shrub variety, then tincture should take 10 ml before meals for an hour twice a day. If the herbaceous elder was insisted, then a certain pattern should be followed.

Such treatment of mastopathy with elderberry is repeated in May lasting up to 30 days and in the autumn - about 45 days.

It can be brewed alone or in combination with chamomile and melissa. It is necessary to take 5 grams of each herb and pour boiling water. After a quarter of an hour, the medicinal tea will be ready.
Calendula flowers are used both for the treatment of mastopathy, and other oncological formations of benign nature. Flowers have in their composition vitamins, flavonoids and carotene, thanks to which calendula is considered an effective medicinal plant.
