Herbal Mixes: Mama's Milk Tea - organic

Contains: Red raspberry leaf, fennel seed, nettle leaf, fenugreek seed, dandelion leaf, blessed thistle

Mama's Milk Tea helps you nursing mamas increase your milk supply and the nutritional value of your milk.

Directions

I normally add 3 tablespoons of the premixed herbs to 2 cups of water. (This makes for a strong tea. You are welcome to use less than 3 tablespoons, if you find it too strong).

Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for no longer than 10 minutes. Strain off the herbs, and add raw honey, if desired. I found that drinking 3 - 6 cups a day increased my milk supply considerably. (I have drunk as much as 8 cups in one day with very good results). It's very important to stay hydrated while nursing by drinking lots of liquids. The tea helped in that as well.

Recipe:

From Our Reading and/or Experience...

  • This dry herb mixture can be made into a tincture. As a tincture, it would be even more effective than as a tea. Directions for making tinctures can be found on the Preparing Remedies page. Just remember to drink lots of water with it.
  • The mixture can also be ground up into powder and encapsulated.
  • Because of the Fenugreek, avoid using it internally during pregnancy.
  • This recipe is not just for nursing mamas. Because of the cleansing properties of these herbs, anyone can benefit from their cleansing effects on the liver, gall bladder and kidneys.
  • It can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (except during pregnancy), children and animals.
  • It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
  • As is the case with most herbs, this mixture should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place. Refrigeration or freezing is great, but certainly not necessary. Following these suggestions will delay the loss of its highly valued nutritional and medicinal properties.

Allergies
by Anonymous on Jun 18, 2010

The Mama's Milk tea has proved very affective for seasonal allergies. For the last several seasons, my family, has been symptom-free when we're drinking the tea! Now that I'm pregnant and can't drink the tea, I'm suffering greatly! I'm doing all other remedies I can think of, but nothing works like the Mama's Milk tea!

Baby is thrilled!
by JW on Jun 2, 2009

I love this tea! I've been having some supply issues lately and really had a tough time getting through my four month old's growth spurt. I've been using this and my supply is back up to where it should be. My baby is thrilled with the extra milk. Thanks for a great, natural product!


Pleased with Mama's Milk Tea!
by Nancy on Feb 3, 2009

i just want to tell you how pleased i am with the "mama's milk tea". i am new to herbs and this is my first real attempt to use them for medicinal purposes. i had a baby in november and began drinking the tea as soon as i came home from the hospital. this is my 4th baby and in the past i have struggled to get the milk going in the first month. this time my milk came in just fine and not only that but my baby made a substantial weight gain as well. at 2 months of age she has made a 5 pound weight gain. the pediatrician was amazed, he said breast-fed babies usually do not gain like that! well, i know that this is not a scientific experiment, but the results were sure different for me this time with the tea. i am a believer now, for sure, and plan to learn more about herbs. thank you for all your work and for offering a website with such great information. God Bless you

Mama's Tea - Double Success!
by Victoria on Dec 2, 2008

I just recently purchased Mama's Milk tea because my son has begun to nurse a lot more. He's already a hefty little man at 25 lbs and 7 months old, but I wanted to make sure that I had more milk than he needed as his growth spurt seemed to leave me more "empty" than usual. He's also had a cough for almost 2 months that I have tried (rather unsuccessfully) to eliminate. I've eaten even more greens and consumed Echinacea (which helped a little) but still it would not leave. The day my herbs arrived in the mail I made the Mama's milk tea by whirling the dried herbs in my coffee grinder and then making a nice steamy drink. Shortly thereafter my milk was coming in very strong. In addition my son's cough was gone within 24 hours and has stayed away!! Praise the Father for HIS provision! Thank you for providing these wonderful herbs at such a great price!

Answer to My Prayers
by Catherine on Jun 16, 2008

"Mama's Milk Tea has been an answer to my prayers. I was unable to nurse for a full year with my first two children, but now that I have Mama's Milk Tea my milk supply is staying ample for baby #3. A friend suggested that I turn it into a tincture so I take 3 tsps. per day. I added some peppermint to help with the flavor! Many thanks for the great products! I am one grateful momma!

A question....
by Sharla on Sep 29, 2006

I love your Mama's Brew, but I always make a gallon of it to drink as ice tea...could I do the same with Mama's Milk Tea? Would I use the same quantities as with the Raspberry blend?
Thanks

    Yes, you can make a gallon using the same proportion of herb mix to water.
