Herbal teas and plants: allies to support breastfeeding

Breastfeeding often requires energy, serenity and a certain amount of well-being. To accompany this unique period, herbal teas and plants can be interesting allies. At 23 Mai Paris , we believe that comfort is not just a matter of clothing, but also of taking care of your daily life. In this article we explore the most relevant plants for breastfeeding and the precautions to be aware of.

1. Why consider plants during breastfeeding?

Your body is constantly adapting to baby's needs. Certain micronutrients and wellness gestures can support this adaptation. Herbal teas can help to :

• daily hydration (key during breastfeeding)

• relaxation and stress reduction, which can influence lactation

• galactogenic" plants (those that encourage milk production)

2. Useful plants

Here are a few plants frequently used to accompany breastfeeding:

• Fenugreek: known to help stimulate milk production.

• Nettle: rich in minerals and useful for supporting the body of nursing mothers.

• Green anise or caraway: carminative plants, often found in breastfeeding herbal teas.

• Vervain or chamomile: to soothe, relax and promote a moment of calm compatible with breastfeeding.

3. Plants or herbal teas to be used with care

Although naturopathy offers many gentle remedies, some plants should be handled with care during breastfeeding:

• Fennel: traditionally used, but containing phyto-oestrogenic compounds that deserve moderation. Near Queens+1
