Breastmilk is a miracle of the female body, adapting to the needs of the infant for the best growth results. Supporting breastmilk production helps to support the mother and infant. Herbs that affect and increase breastmilk production are called galactagogues. Goats rue is one of the best galactagogues which increases breastmilk production 50% without decreasing the nutritional content. Synergistic galactagogues such as alfalfa, fenugreek, and fennel seed can be combined for a quick increase in production.
Traditionally these herbs have also been used for animal milk production also.
