We combine Blessed Thistle, Red Raspberry Leaf, Stinging Nettle, Fennel Seed and Chamomile into our More Mother's Milk tea!  These herbs have a long and successful history in supporting the body by increasing the supply of breastmilk.  Our More Mother's Milk tea is formulated to support overall nutrition, aid in rejuvenation, and soothe nerves and emotions of lactating mothers!    All herbs are organic or wildcrafted.   While fenugreek is found in many teas targeted to breast milk production, we specifically left out it out.   Unless fenugreek is taken in the exact amounts and at the exact time per day, it can actually dry up a mother's milk supply!  As an herbalist, I had included Fenugreek in my early mother's milk formulation and given it to my daughter Megan.  Tragically, her milk supply dried up!  This sent me back to the books to find out why!  As it turns out, Fenugreek IS extremely effective (especially in combination with Blessed Thistle) in increasing breast milk production, but must be carefully regulated.  If not taken in the same does, at the same time each day it can actually dry up the milk supply of lactating mothers!  Megan is much like her momma and taking anything exactly like another time is near impossible to do.  Additionally, ensuring that each cup of tea has the same amount of Fenugreek in it is not easily accomplished.  Thus, we decided to leave it out of our More Mother's Milk Tea.  This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. For educational purposes only.  Makes about  12  doses (with a serving size of one teaspoon tea to 6 oz water)!  Serve hot or cold.  Make as an Infusion.  16 ounces by volume​
