Lactation Tea

$22.00

Herbs to ease the nervous system, aid digestion, and increase milk production in the postpartum period.

 

Moringa Leaf: Known as a lactation superfood, moringa is a mild-tasting green leaf heavily backed by clinical trials for increasing prolactin and early milk volume. It tastes like a very mild, pleasant green tea.

Shatavari Root: A traditional Ayurvedic herb that targets the release of milk by supporting oxytocin (the let-down hormone) rather than just prolactin. It features a naturally sweet, earthy, and nutty flavor profile.

West Indian Lemongrass Leaf: Provides a mild antibacterial effect to protect the nursing mother’s gut health while introducing a pleasant, refreshing flavor that can make the milk more appealing to a fussy baby.

Lemon Verbena: A mild, safe nervous system relaxant. It works to lower maternal postpartum anxiety so the body can release milk more freely.

Anise Seed: Stimulates milk supply and supports the let-down process.

Coriander Seed: Supports the gentle estrogenic actions of fennel and anise while acting as a mild circulation booster to help clear stagnant fluid in the breasts.

Blessed Thistle: Acts as a bitter tonic traditionally used to enhance blood circulation to the breasts. It helps support the body’s natural release of prolactin and oxytocin to promote healthy milk flow and production.

Marshmallow Root: A highly hydrating, mucilaginous (gel-forming) herb. It replenishes deep systemic hydration needed to support milk volume.

 

The information provided above is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice. Postpartum bodies and nursing infants are highly sensitive. Please consult with a qualified healthcare provider, IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), or clinical herbalist before introducing any new herbal supplements into your routine. Discontinue use immediately if you or your infant experience any adverse reactions, changes in digestion, or allergic symptoms.

 

The herbs are sourced either from certified organic farms; are sustainably wild-foraged; or are grown without chemicals – or they are from my local Chinatown! Fair wages and working conditions for the people growing or harvesting the herbs are also taken into consideration.
