Antigalactics

Antigalactic: diminishes milk secretion

Practitioners should be extremely cautious if and when using antigalactic herbs for women’s health care. They need to be positive the woman is not currently breastfeeding and her desired effect is to stop lactation prior to prescribing these herbs.

Examples:

• Lycopus virginicus/europaeus (bugleweed)

• Salvia officinalis (sage)
