To help new mothers sustain breastfeeding, Ayurveda recommends the herb Shatavari. This galactagogue herb enhances breast milk supply, allowing mothers to optimally nourish their babies.
Shatavari contains phytoestrogens that regulate mammary gland tissues. Prolactin hormone levels are stabilized to increase production and flow of breast milk. At the same time, Shatavari reduces inflammation and tenderness in the breasts.
This herb also boosts immunity against postpartum infections. It helps purify blood, counteracting the accumulation of toxins after delivery. The overall improvement in maternal health enables greater milk production.
Shatavari provides vital micronutrients for the mother’s rejuvenation and the infant’s growth. Due to its soothing demulcent action, Shatavari relieves gastric distress that can result from exclusive breastfeeding. It enhances stamina, combating the exhaustion faced by nursing mothers.
To enjoy a satisfying, problem-free breastfeeding experience, nursing mothers should add Shatavari in any form from powder, tablets or tonic. Along with dietary lactagogues like cumin, fennel, and dried figs, Shatavari boosts breast milk quality and quantity.
