Haven't heard of mustard oil in the successful treatment of breast infection or mastitis but I know that using castor oil is a popular, tried and tested method. Olive oil, sweet almond oil and aloe vera are also said to work well. Mustard oil is known for its anti-bacterial properties so maybe it might just work for breast infection -- can't find much information about it though.
