The Garden Bug: Herbs that help nursing moms

By Brenda Weaver

Herbs such as blessed thistle (cnicus benedictus), dandelion leaf (Taraxacum officinale), fennel (foeniculum vulgare), and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) have long been known as beneficial for new mothers. They can encourage good digestion, increase breast milk production, help relieve constipation, lessen uterine bleeding and soothe nervous feelings. They can be cooked and eaten, brewed as a tea or made into tinctures. *Consult your physician before taking herbs.
