Castor Equi Boiron 4% Mother tincture Ointment 20G - Prevention and treatment of cracked nipples due to breastfeeding
When you start breastfeeding, keep one thing in mind: giving your baby milk shouldn't hurt! It's true that breastfeeding can cause slight pain and discomfort in the first few seconds of the first feed. However, if your pain persists after two or three days of breastfeeding and one minute after the start of the feed, this is not normal. It could be the onset of cracking. In this case, it's important to treat it and prevent its recurrence by applying a suitable ointment.
BOIRON Castor Equi Ointment is the homeopathic solution of choice for people suffering from the inconvenience of cracked skin, offering a natural, effective and skin-friendly treatment. Its unique composition and adapted administration method make it an essential product for all nursing mothers seeking relief and comfort. By choosing Castor Equi BOIRON, you're opting for a gentle, natural approach to treating cracks, allowing for serene healing and a fulfilling breastfeeding experience.
In the course ofbreastfeeding, it's possible to encounter more or less serious problems that can disrupt latching on and cause suffering for the breastfeeding mother. In fact, erosions and cracks on the nipple are the most frequently observed, but they are mainly caused by the baby's position or incorrect latching on during breastfeeding. This homeopathic ointment with Castor Equi from the Boiron laboratories helps relieve these pains, allowing baby and mom to breastfeed with peace of mind.
Prevention and treatment of cracked nipples associated withbreastfeeding. Cracks are a kind of tear in the nipple. These small cracks often appear during the first month of breastfeeding. Cracks are painful and often lead to bleeding. The main signs of cracks are reddening of the nipples, and even small wounds.
BOIRON Castor Equi Ointment is a homeopathic solution traditionally acclaimed for its effectiveness against crevices, those small cracks in the skin that can become a real headache, especially when they affect the nipple. This ointment stands out for its unique composition, offering a natural, gentle alternative for sensitive skin.
The benefits of Castor Equi are manifold. Firstly, it promotes skin repair, helping to restore the skin's natural protective barrier. The homeopathic active ingredients it contains have been carefully selected for their ability to soothe and heal, making this treatment particularly suitable for breast-feeding moms, faced with the inconvenience of cracked nipples.
Enriched with Castor Equi, the homeopathic ointment acts directly on the affected areas, providing fast, effective relief. It contributes to cell regeneration, while preserving the skin's delicate balance. Regular use helps prevent the appearance of new cracks, while soothing the pain and discomfort of existing cracks.
We also recommend the Rapid Flexible Tip Baby Thermometer, with its flexible tip for fast, safe temperature measurement. Particularly suitable for young children.
Method and route of administration: Cutaneous route. Apply to cleansed skin.
Dosage and administration
Application of BOIRON Castor Equi homeopathic ointment is both simple and practical, ensuring effective localized treatment. For best results, apply the ointment two or three times a day to the affected area, taking care to clean the nipple with a compress soaked in lukewarm water before each feed. This routine not only promotes healing, but also ensures perfect hygiene, a crucial factor when breastfeeding.
