I'm happy you are having some results. I'm wondering how long you soak the fenugreek in olive oil? Do you use fenugreek seeds or open up a capsule of fenugreek to put in the olive oil or what? Do you heat the olive oil with the fenugreek for a certain amount of time?
Thanks for the support!
Now, I'll be answering your questions one by one:
I'm following Alicia Catherine's suggestion about soaking FG with olive oil for at least one week before using it. I also added Fennel, because I rode it's good for NBE. Once you soak the FG for a week, you'll notice that the FG stays on the bottom and Olive oil rises up. I massage with the Olive oil, thought, I think I must use the FG too..not sure about that. Olive oils smells like FG and Fennel, so I guess it's working. LOL. It makes it less messy, and the FG doesn't smeel too much like honey. I use that before I sleep, so I can wash it up next morning.
The Fenugreek I'm using for my massage is FG powder. I didn't wanted to use the capsules, since capsules where must more expensive than buying the powder. I found my powder in a herb's store, just ask for the powder.
Last, I do not heat the olive oil with FG. I keep it warm inside my drawer and covered with cloth so it's not to cold when I use it. Also, before I massage, I warm my hands with warm water. I'm planning on adding a heat pad after my massage, since I've discovered that when I massage and my breast are warmer the swelling stays longer.
I hope my information is helpful. I know what you mean when you say it's messy, since I experienced the same before I decided to let the FG soak in olive oil. Believe me, it's much simpler this way, and Olive oil gets absorbed really fast. Just try to not massage your nipples, or they'll might get kinda hard afterward (but don't worry, just add some warm water and they'll return to normal)
Good luck to you! Don't give up! >w<
