Did you know that about 70% of women wear a bra size that is too small for them? It may not seem like a big deal, but an ill-fitting bra can increase chest or rib pain, general discomfort, irritated skin, or completely restrict certain movements. The goal is to be comfortable, but bras, along with tight jeans, may not always make the list of comfortable clothing items. If taking off your bra has become the highlight of your day, you’re probably wearing the wrong bra size. 

Women who get into the habit of wearing the wrong bra size commonly experience similar symptoms. Underwire may poke at your chest, straps may dig into your shoulders, and the band may cause rib pain. While these are not life-threatening symptoms, they can lead to other symptoms that include headaches, backaches, or even shortness of breath. All of those symptoms can make any woman want to unlock her bra strap immediately.

Wearing a bra that fits correctly can be a life-changing experience. A well-fitting bra will allow for maximum mobility and optimal bodily functions. In fact, many chiropractors say that ill-fitting bras increase the need for regular adjustments to realign the spine. Ideally, the band should rest at the bottom of your shoulder blades and all of your breast tissue should fit in the cup. That means no spillage out of the top or the bottom. Once you find the perfect bra, which can be a challenge, you may spare yourself from the following symptoms. 

Upper Body Pain

One of the most common bra-related issues is that the cup is too small and the band is too loose. An unsupportive and uncomfortable bra can increase the risk of shoulder and back pain. To compensate for a loose band, many women tighten the straps too much, which strains the shoulders. Listen up, ladies, shoulder indentions are not normal and your bra shouldn’t cause shoulder pain. Relying on the straps for support is a mistake because you really want support from the band. 

Chafing

Chafing is a common issue with different types of bras, but many women report the most chafing after wearing sports bras. Movement causes friction between the skin and fabric, and a bra that’s too tight can rub the skin in an uncomfortable way. Tight clothing often increases irritation and the inflammation of hair follicles, according to dermatologists. Regular irritation makes it easier for bacteria on the skin to penetrate hair follicles, which causes infection. If your bra is the right fit and you still experience chafing or irritation, consider a bra with a wider band.

Over-Spillage

If there’s more boob out of the bra than in the bra, one thing is crystal clear: it’s too small for you. There’s no reason that your breasts should not fit snuggly within the cups, nor should the underwire should sit on the breasts. You may need to move up to a cup size that offers more support, less movement, and a smoother look under your clothes. A fitted underwire should trace the root of your breasts and lie flat on the ribcage. No woman wants the quad-boob look!

The Band Squeezes Your Back

There’s no reason that the band should squeeze the life out of your back. This could mean that your band is either too tight or too high up on your back. Since the band is where support comes from, it’s integral to choose the right style and size. Tighter does not equate to a better bra; rather, it typically means that you need a more supportive style with a thicker band. 

Regular Adjusting

You know that there’s a problem with your bra if you pull, tug, and constantly readjust it throughout the day. There are a few reasons that call for regular adjustments. It’s very possible that the style is wrong, but the cups may be too small or too big. Lastly, the band may be too big. If a bra shifts with every movement you make, it’s time to find a bra that fits in order to address these issues. 

Pain Under Your Breasts

If you ever experience a line under your boobs, especially if it’s red or itchy, then something may be up with the underwire. Older bras that have worn fabric that exposes the underwire should be thrown out. The skin under the breasts is very sensitive and should not be directly exposed to wire. If this is not the case, the underwire may not properly fit the chest and is moving around too much. This causes friction and irritation, two things no woman should experience while wearing a bra.

The post These Signs Indicate That Your Bra Is Too Tight appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and National No Bra Day lands on October 13^th. Given that one in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in life, National No Bra Day encourages women to carry out regular self-examinations and screenings to identify the symptoms and raise awareness about breast cancer.

In 2018, roughly 266,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. Due to the viral nature of social media, National No Bra Day has gained extreme popularity within the past seven years. Many women have used the hashtag #nobraday, going braless to support the cause. This day comes at a perfect time, considering Harvard University just released a study indicating that regular consumption of processed meats can increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer by 9%.

Most women are taught that wearing a bra is a societal norm that should not be broken. The pro-bra mentality needs to be broken and women should be able to ditch the brassiere whenever they please. Not wearing a bra has some amazing benefits , some of which are detailed below.

Improve Breast Health

The tightness around the chest area can reduce circulation, due to the compression of essential blood vessels. A French study revealed that women who did not wear bras had improved breast circulation and perkiness. Bras may not be the worst thing to ever come into existence, but not wearing a bra can help reduce the risk of rashes, acne, or infections that can stem from sweat or dirt being trapped between the skin and bra.

Improve Breast Shape

The aforementioned French study proved that not wearing a bra can actually help to maintain natural breast shape. Consistently wearing a bra weakens chest muscles, which causes the breasts to droop and lose their natural shape. You can keep breasts rounder and perkier by letting them be.

Encourage Healthy Breast Tissue

Wearing a bra may hinder a woman’s ability to continually produce healthy breast tissue. The regeneration of healthy breast tissue is integral for reducing the risk of developing breast cancer or other breast diseases. Healthy breast tissue helps the breasts retain breast muscle strength, and it can lead to stronger, rounder, and perkier breasts.

Leave the bras behind, ladies, and embrace the freedom and benefits of not wearing a bra. You can make every day National No Bra Day, or you can ditch the brassiere whenever you feel like it. It’s important to continue raising awareness about breast cancer and continue educating the masses on how to recognize the symptoms. Try thermography for the best early detection. Mention us in your #nobraday post on your social media platforms!

The post Amazing Things That Happen When You Don’t Wear A Bra appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Why do women wear bras? Some might argue that social norms or pressures demand that women wear bras to be perceived as presentable, dignified, and regular. All women know that they can wear what they want. In fact, some women feel empowered when they release the straps and hooks to free their breasts. There is even scientific evidence that says wearing a bra could actually decrease healthy breast development.

Some women think that the bra was an amazing invention, while others think it is a torture device thought up from the evils of an unspeakable place of hatred. A sports scientist named Jean-Denis Rouillon, who researches at the University of Franche-Comte, conducted a 15-year study on the effects of bras. The study consisted of 330 women, all aged 18-35.

The study revealed that wearing a bra from an early age did not prevent back pain, support the chest, or prevent the breasts from sagging. Women who voluntarily stopped wearing bras during the study actually had a 7-millimeter lift in their nipples compared to the bra users. Basically, breasts don’t benefit from being denied gravity.

Bras can actually decrease circulation to the breasts, which may reduce natural growth and breast tissue development. Young women who don’t wear bras can develop healthier breast tissue and tone. Both of these things help lift a developing breast. Women could possibly have a natural breast lift if they didn’t wear bras from such an early age.

Women should also avoid wearing bras when they go to sleep. The decreased circulation to the breasts can induce itching, irritation, and impaired sleep. Some women may even experience skin depigmentation or black spots.

Whether you wear a bra or not is entirely up to you. These are preliminary studies and more research needs to be done to have succinct, conclusive evidence about the advantages of not wearing a bra. So far, however, the results seem to be heading in a positive direction.

The post Why You Shouldn’t Wear A Bra… Science Says So appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Many women suffer from irritation and/or pain in their breasts and do not address the issue. However, it is vital for any women that experiences pain or irittation in their breasts to take further notice, as you may have toxic breasts. The location of your breasts near the lymphatic system make your breasts more susceptible to adverse reactions. The area above and between your breasts is inundated with oild glands, making that area vulnerable to bacteria accumulation. Also, your underarms, which are adjacent to the breasts, have lymph nodes that excrete toxins in response to perspiration. However, many females use harmful anti-perspirants that are laced with unhealthy chemicals. These chemicals not only inhibit toxins from exiting the body via perspiration, but also can cause skin irritation, inflammation of the lymph nodes, and potentially increase your risk of acquiring cancer.

Bras should also be of your concern. Bras (especially wire-strapped bras) reduce circulation in the chest and shoulder area because they make an indentation in the skin (which means they are too tight). With poor circulation, toxins are unable to excrete themselves of the chest/breast area to the major eliminative channels (the colon and kidneys). As a result, your chest/breast area accumulates unwanted toxins that may cause further damage. Purse straps and tight clothing also can restrict circulation in that region, which may negatively affect your lymphatic flow in that region.

Symptoms of Toxic Breasts

Breast cysts or tumors are a symptom of toxic breasts. Other symptoms of toxic breasts include:

• Breast Pain
• Hardening of the Breasts
• Mastitis (inflammation of the mammary glands)
• Inflammation of Lymph Nodes
• Skin Irritation

Toxic Breast Prevention

Women that are experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms of toxic breasts should address it immediately. Taking an all-natural, holistic approach to healing your breasts naturally can provide both psychological and physical benefits. Women can help restore their bodies to optimal health and consequently reduce the risk of acquiring breast-related diseases and conditions with a variety of methods. First, maintaining healthy weight by consuming a diet rich in nutrient-dense fresh fruits and vegetables is important; the fiber, vitamins, and minerals found in cruciferous vegetables can help curtail any weight fluctuation. Maintaining a regular exercise program can also help you maintain a healthy weight; moderate exercise for at least 30 minutes per day can increase your metabolism, burn fat, move lymph fluid, increase oxygenation, as well as regulate your insulin and hormone production. Reducing your alcohol intake is also ha significant value in reducing your risk of breast-related diseases. Excessive consumption of alchol impairs your liver’s ability to metabolize the estrogen hormone. Estrogen is critical during breast growth and development, and if estrogen is unable to metabolize properly, you can be more susceptible to breast cancer and other diseases.

How to Heal Your Breasts Naturally

Maintain an all-natural, raw foods, vegan diet. Fruits that are high in antioxidants (blueberries, cherries) can help eliminate toxins, and seeds high in essentiall fatty acids (chia, flax) can help reduce inflammation.

Reduce stress. Stress has been shown to negatively affect your body’s health and compromise your immune system.

Stop smoking. Tobacco smoke in cigarettes contains substances that are known carcinogens.

Sleep. Your body and breast tissue rejuvenate more quickly while you sleep.

Take your bra off once in the comfort of your home to let your breasts beathe.

Periodically (once a week) feel for lumps in your breasts (as a lump could detect a tumor, malignant or benign).

Rub olive oil, almond oil, or wheat germ oil to help in conditions of hardened or dry nipples.

Rub Borage Oil and/or Evening Primrose Oil into your breasts to help reduce soreness and tenderness, and decrease inflammation.

Rub/massage Shea Butter or Coconut Butter into the breasts to help the elasticity of the breasts and prevent stretch marks on the breasts.

The following essential oils can be therapeutic for the breasts:

• Rose Geranium
• Clary Sage
• Cananga
• Grapefruit Peel
• Fennel
• Yarrow
• Pennyroyal (use sparingly and in very small doses, one drop)
• Rue (use sparingly and in very small doses, one drop)
• Cypress (use sparingly and in very small doses, one drop)

The following herbs can provide additional remedial and restorative benefits:

• Saw Palmetto
• Red Raspberry Leaf
• Honeysuckle
• Black Cohosh
• Red Clover Tops
• Blessed Thistle
• Dong Quai
• Marshmallow
• Yarrow

As the female vagina is a breathing organ, it requires oxygen. How is the vagina going to breathe or receive oxygen when it is daily suffocated by the restrictive garments that many women wear?

It’s hard for oxygen to penetrate tight fitting clothes, especially denim jeans and leather and not to mention the panties and undergarments many women wear. Despite the ubiquity of such fashions, many people wonder why female reproductive system pathologies and disorders are so rampant among women and girls today.

It is a basic scientific fact that our bodies require oxygen. The body itself is a breathing organ. The hair must breathe, the skin must breathe, the genitals (testicles and vagina) must breathe. Oxygen is imperative to maximum health and well-being.

Lack of oxygen coupled with acidosis is the perfect recipe for vaginal problems, and actually, the recipe for nearly all other health catastrophes.

To clarify the DHerbs.com position: we do not suggest women stop wearing underwear, pants, etc. DHerbs believes the vagina needs to breathe and it benefits female health to actually let the vagina air out as much as possible.

Some women wear long t-shirts with no panties or bras underneath when they are home from work. Such women are in tune with their vaginal consciousness and well-being.

Harmful Vaginal Activities

Activity that contributes to vaginal asphyxiation by blocking air to the vagina:

• panties
• panty liners
• nylon stockings
• feminine hygiene pads
• tight pants (especially jeans and leather pants)

And consider all that goes into the vagina: tampons, male and female condoms, personal and sexual lubricants, feminine deodorant sprays and powders, douche solutions, IUDs (though somewhat rare nowadays), dildos, vibrators, and a host of other substances and gadgets.

An unhealthy diet, unnatural lifestyle, asphyxiated vagina, use of harmful feminine hygiene products as well as harmful personal hygiene products, harmful fashion, and a plethora of other things all lead to physical self-destruction.

The female breast’s primary function is for breastfeeding. The human female breast is how human babies receive nourishment. There was and is a dual benefit for the breastfeeding mother and the breastfed child. Breastfeeding does help to keep a woman’s breasts healthy; after all, they were made for that activity. Breastfeeding also constitutes obeisance to God or Nature, because again, the breasts were made for breastfeeding.

Because the breasts are located at the 4th Chakra, the breasts record energy; they record emotions. Heartache and pain as well as grief are stored in the tissues of the breasts as well as the 4th Chakra itself, which is a disk that holds information.

Negative emotion stored in a woman is the energetic causative factor that causes tumors and cysts to develop in the breasts. Basically, women are holding things (negative emotion) in and not releasing them. They are not ‘getting things off their chest’ so to speak.

The breasts are living glands. They need to breathe, they need oxygen; they need nourishment; they need attention and care.

Harmful Breast Treatment

Tattoos

Breast area contains very sensitive tissue. It is also lymphatic tissue. When using permanent ink on the soft breast skin, slowly but surely the ink (usually man-made, synthetic and very harmful ink) will enter into the blood stream. So not only is it tacky to have graffiti tattooed on the breast, it is also unhealthy (unless henna is being used for tattooing purposes).

Mammograms

A mammogram is “an X-ray film of the soft tissues of the breast.” X-rays utilize radiation. It’s not a good idea to subject the soft tissues of the breast to radiation.

Mastectomies

Having a breast removed to prevent cancer is the equivalent of throwing the luggage out into the ocean in order to save the ship. Some women are told by their doctor that the best way to prevent breast cancer is to simply not have any breasts at all. In other words, have a mastectomy before cancer develops. This is not a solution-it’s fear based behavior that can have other negative side effects.

Breast Diseases and Health Issues

Mastitis

Mastitis is inflammation of the breast, usually caused by mucus and mucus is the result of an acidic body predicated upon an acidic diet-one that’s high in meat and dairy products as well as refined grains and starches and acidic beverages such as soda pop.

Many times mastitis denotes that an injury is present. The pus actually serves to help out in the situation. There are natural remedies for mastitis just as there are for every other breast complaint. Keep reading!

Stretch Marks on the Breasts

Stretch marks on the breasts denote that the breasts have grown faster than the skin could keep up with. This exponential growth of the breasts in most cases is caused by the hormones placed in food.

Uneven Breasts

Uneven breasts have become very common. Because women are more self-conscious than males are on average, this is a major problem for many women who experience this occurrence.

However, such size differentials are perfectly normal. Indeed, one breast is naturally larger than the other. The left breast is usually larger than the right. Interestingly, in men, the left testicle hangs lower than the right one.

Paget’s Disease

Paget’s disease, also known as “nipple cancer”, is an inflammatory malignant neoplasm of the nipple and areola that is usually associated with carcinoma in deeper breast structures. It represents only a small percentage of breast cancers and usually begins in the nipple and spread to the areola.

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in American women (behind skin cancer). The chance of a woman in the U.S. developing invasive breast cancer at some time in her life is about 1 in 8 (12%).

In 2008, an estimated 182,460 cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed among women in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, in addition to invasive breast cancer, there were 67,770 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) in 2008. CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman’s death is about 1 in 35 (about 3%).

At this time there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

Sagging Breasts

Sagging is a natural part of aging. No matter how firm, toned, and defined they may be, one day they will give in to the gravitational pull of gravity and sag.

Many women complain of sagging breasts as a result of breastfeeding. For many women, constantly breastfeeding takes a toll on the shape, tone, and definition of the breasts. For some women, breastfeeding does the reverse and helps to tone them and give them definition.

The cells of the breasts have intelligence and also store memory, so the breasts can be trained to respond and the best way to do this is via mental science (visualization), constantly seeing the breasts in the light you desire them to be.

There are certain bras out there that can help to train the breasts to regain their natural composition. Remember, the situation with sagging breasts will differ from woman to woman. Your breasts will not automatically sag if you breast feed a child.

Caked Nipples

This condition results from breast-feeding and is very common. The nipples and areola section becomes so dry from the contact of saliva and skin that the skin and nipples become dry and thus crack which can be very painful.

Gynecomastia

This is a condition when men develop breasts. It is becoming more common, likely due to poor diet and overeating, excess body fat, genetic predisposition, androgen hormone consumption (anabolic steroid use by bodybuilders), and consumption of soy due to the estrogen hormonal precursor soy contains.

Soy is not just a common item found in vegan and vegetarian circles. Soy is used in many non-vegan and non-vegetarian items. Along with corn, it is the most used and genetically engineered crop in the United States.

Gynecomastia usually occurs when males are pre-teens and well into the teen years. It is reported that 65% of boys age 14 have them.

And because males can develop breasts, males too can develop breast cancer and die from it. It is reported that each year in the United States 1,700 males develop breast cancer and more than 300 of them die from breast cancer.

Natural Healing Solutions

If you can find a magnetic bra, that is also a good natural healing solution. Magnetic therapy is very conducive for healing purposes, especially where there are tumors or cysts.

Individual herbs that naturally help to enlarge the female breasts include Saw Palmetto and Pueraria Mirifica. A woman would need to take at least 6 capsules daily of Saw Palmetto and 3-6 capsules of Pueraria. Both herbs could be taken together or separately, whichever works best.

And remember, the Magnetic bra can also help to enlarge the breasts as well as mental science: using daily visualization exercises (seeing your breasts or bust the size you desire them to be). Check out our Mental Science Manual e-book to learn more about the dynamics of mental science and how you can use mental science for healing purposes.

The individual herb Honeysuckle is great for all breast complaints.

Other individual herbs that will benefit the female breasts include:

• Wild Yam Root
• Red Raspberry Leaf
• Sarsaparilla
• Red Clover Tops

Progesterone creams can be massaged into the skin of the breasts whereby the cream will enter the bloodstream.

If you’re a breastfeeding mother and suffer from caked nipples, apply some botanical oil (olive oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, or jojoba oil) or shea butter to the nipple(s) throughout the day as needed for relief. Aloe vera gel may also provide relief, so may calendula gel or cream. However, the oils are better than gels and creams as they are foods and ideally we should be able to eat anything we put on our bodies.

If you’re a breastfeeding mother and are not producing enough milk, the following herbs have milk increasing properties: Bamboo, Red Raspberry Leaf, Blessed Thistle, Basil, Coriander, Cardamom, Saw Palmetto Berry, Caraway Seed, Black Seed, Dill, Fennel Seed, Flax Seed, Anise, and Fenugreek Seed. Most of the foregoing herbs are included in Dherbs.com Galactagogue Formula. Galactogogue is an agent that increases and enhances the quantity and quality of breast milk.

If you’re a breast feeding mother and desire to dry up your breast milk the following herbs will help this process: Sage and Black Walnut Hulls. Ideally, a woman should breastfeed for 2 years or up to the time the child’s teeth come in. When a baby’s teeth come in, it’s a sign the baby is ready for solid foods. However, some babies may still desire and require breast milk for psychological reasons despite their teeth coming in.

If you suffer from mastitis, especially while breastfeeding, start consuming Mullein leaf tea (3-5 cups daily). You don’t want to breastfeed if pus is coming out of the nipples. Instead make an alternative milk to feed the baby while you’re healing your breasts.

To keep your breasts toned, firm, elastic, and defined, periodically massage them with an edible or botanical oil (olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, etc.).

Males dealing with gynecomastia should change their diet, preferably to a mostly raw foods and vegan diet. Soy-based products should be eaten at a minimum if eaten at all. Herbs like Sarsaparilla, Licorice Root, and Yohimbe Bark provide natural testosterone precursors that help with the increase in production of male hormones).

Males dealing with breast cancer should follow the same advice recommended for women with breast cancer, except that a man should perform the Total Male Cleanse.

Dherbs Solutions

Dherbs.com compounds that help repair damaged breasts and return them to a state of optimal health and well being include:

• Full Body Cleanse
• Total Female Cleanse
• Female Breasts Formula
• Female Hormonal
• Female Health Tea
