No time and language restrictions were considered in this study. Results: According to the results, a significant decrease was seen in breast severity of engorgement in hollyhock compress (p<0.001); in a study, Ginger compression group was more effective than control group (p<0.001). In addition, the herbal compress was more effectiveness than hot compress groups. In another study, the cabbage leaves and gel packs groups reduced significantly in pain compared to the control group,  In a study, Intermittent compress (hot and cold) was more effective than acupressure in decreasing the intensity of breast hyperemia in lactating women.  Some studies showed that cabbage is beneficial on breast engorgement and some studies did not find any significant difference between studies.
