Description Subjective perception of insufficient milk supply is one of the most common problems of nursing mothers. For centuries, herbs have been used to increase lactation and remain popular even today. There is only a limited number of studies proving their safety and effectivity, so their use is based primarily on previous experience. The use of certain herbs has shown that they could be effective and safe, but further research is needed to define terms of use. This paper describes preliminary findings on the mechanism of action, adverse effects and possible interactions observed in some herbs frequently used to promote lactation.
