Herbs For Supporting Lactation and Increasing Milk Supply

.

May 18, 2021

For millions of years, postpartum women have used the abundance of nature around them to
help them breastfeed and care for the baby. Plants have been used in a variety of ways such as increasing breast milk, relieving colic in babies, recovering from birth, and inducing labor.

This wisdom of motherhood has been passed down from generation to generation and in every
culture, some plants and compounds are used to support women’s health. Today, you
too can benefit from this knowledge that we inherited from mothers who came before us. At
Milkcare believes in using both ancient and modern wisdom gathered from many cultures to
support nursing mothers.

Shatavari – (Asparagus Racemosus)

The plant originated in India, mainly in the Himalayas, and has been used for thousands of years to support healthy milk flow and for other health benefits. Shatavari has components that are antioxidants and is rich in minerals such as magnesium, selenium, zinc as well as vitamins A, vitamin B and fatty acids, all of which are essential for our bodies.
In traditional Indian herbal medicine, the use of Shatavari is recommended mainly for nourishing and supporting women during the postpartum recovery period as well as for supporting a naturally “flowing” breastfeeding process.

Blessed Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum)

The name “Blessed Milk Thistle” hints at a time-honored connection between this prickly plant and nursing mothers. Traditionally used for centuries in various ailments, Milk Thistle is also known to support a healthy flow of breast milk. Modern research reveals it contains antioxidants, beneficial for overall human health

Angelica Sinensis (Female Ginseng)

Angelica is a shrub originating from northern Asia, China and Korea. In these areas it is widely used in traditional medicine. Its effect focuses on strengthening, driving bodily processes, and nourishment. Therefore, it’s a good choice for breastfeeding support. In Chinese medicine, this plant is used to support the body’s cycles and biological rhythms and is considered a distinctly
feminine herb.

Agnus Castus (Chaste Tree)

The Chaste Tree is another herb used in different cultures to support women’s health, it grows in the Middle East and from there its fruits are transported to all parts of the world. It does wonders for women of childbearing and menopause age. According to traditional herbalists and naturopathic approaches, the Chaste Tree should be a component of any extract whose function is to help during the lactation period.

Why not Fenugreek?

At MilkCare we have chosen to produce all our products without Fenugreek. This is because women who take Fenugreek to increase milk supply sometimes experience abdominal pain and other symptoms related to the digestive system. Some women reported that their baby also had abdominal pain and changes in stools, owing to the use of Fenugreek. Companies that produce milk booster supplements around the world, and in the United States in particular, are using Fenugreek less and less because of those side effects and even mark their products as “Fenugreek-free”.

How to increase your milk supply

Many mothers at some point in their breastfeeding journey, have the feeling that they don’t have enough milk for their baby’s needs. Sometimes it is necessary to boost milk production. If you feel there might be a problem with your milk supply you can use these excellent methods we have collected for you.

I never used any kind of supplements, but when I needed to increase my milk supply and breastfeeding was very important to me, I found that most of the methods are unpleasant. But then I ordered MilkCare’s White Gold, and it was amazing. It worked with no fuss. I wouldn’t be breastfeeding now if it wasn’t for White Gold.

A good friend of mine that saw what a hard time I was having dealing with my son’s discomfort, told me about Calmi. I tried it and in less than a week he was feeling much better.

After trying many products that did nothing to help with my son’s gas, I tried Calmi and it worked amazingly. It’s great to have something natural to deal with this challenging issue.

After my first child had no problems with gas, along came my second with lots of tummy issues. Thank God I had Calmi capsules to help me deal with it. After two weeks of using the capsules, the gas was almost gone, and my daughter was feeling much better.

I started using White Gold about two weeks ago and I’m seeing a huge difference. I even started preparing a freezer stock for when I go back to work.

I love White Gold! It’s amazing, easy to swallow, leaves me feeling good and works far beyond my wildest expectations. I took it now that I’m breastfeeding and will definitely recommend it to my clients as a lactation consultant.

White Gold is an amazing product. After using it for three days I could see a difference and was able to pump much more than I could before. I lovingly recommend it to every mom.

The only product that made a difference with my son’s gas was Calmi. I stopped using it for three days and immediately saw the effect that taking it had with helping his pain. Thanks for this amazing product.

A few weeks after giving birth I started feeling like I didn’t have enough milk. I started using White Gold and the milk started flowing faster, it gave me the peace of mind I needed to keep going with breastfeeding knowing she wasn’t hungry.

White Gold really helped me! I take one in the morning and one at night and I feel the difference! My breasts are always full!

I need to give MilkCare props for this amazing product. I tried White Gold when my baby was 9 months old, I needed a boost for my supply that went down a bit with her starting solids. In a few days I could feel the difference in her swallowing! Calm nursing sessions, a mouth full of milk and all the little things that make a breastfeeding mom feel confident. My bra even started to feel a bit small  It really did the job! I highly recommend it to any breastfeeding mom who needs a boost at any stage.
