I'm sitting here with cabbage leaves stuffed down my shirt to help with mastitis. It's a little odd, but my OB suggested I give it a try. What home remedies do you use?

I did vinegar and milk of magnesia for thrush. Never had to go to antibiotics.
I used breast milk for a clogged duct in LOs eye.

@Thehistoryofus: I did this in my own eye when I got pinkeye. It helped!

I used garlic to treat Strep Throat! I believe you can use it for mastitis too (kellymom mentions it on her mastitis post)!

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear you have mastitis!!!!
When I had clogged ducts, I would fill the tub with hot water and kneel down in it. Then, I would rake my fingers down my boobs trying to push the clog out. The hot water felt great and the raking actually felt okay, too - it wasn't awesome, don't get me wrong but it helped.
