Lactation Tonic

Our featured tonic with targeted support for new mothers directly encourages milk production, balanced digestion, and uterine health. Offering support in all the areas that need nourishment after birth, the Lactation Tonic has a warm and gently spicy taste.

• Each herb is known for its qualities of increasing the flow of breast milk, while also supporting the digestive system, respiratory system, and overall reproductive and hormone health.
  
  
• Traditionally, fennel means “one hundred flowers” while shatavari means “one hundred roots” or “woman with one hundred husbands.”
  
  
• A little goes a long way - prepare a pot and sip throughout the day to ensure you’re always ready for feeding time.
  
  
• Lactation Tonic is an integral part of our Postpartum Care Kit – don’t miss the rejuvenating Body Oil for abdominal skin repair, the Hair & Scalp Oil for decreasing hair fall and encouraging hair growth, and our Herbal Compresses to ease soreness, mastitis, and other motherhood aches and pains.
