Origins
A Norwegian tradition, limpet shells have been used by nursing
mothers to protect and soothe their sensitive nipples since the time of the Vikings.
The minerals in the seashells' mother-of-pearl lining were believed to have healing capabilities, and the shells brought relief, as well as protected the skin between feedings.
In Europe, seashells are now commonly recommended as a treatment for sore nipples by maternity ward nurses and lactation consultants.
