Description
Botanical Name: Galega officinalis
About This Herb: Our Goat’s Rue is harvested at peak flowering and carefully dried. This European native has a long history of use for nursing mothers—the name comes from the observation that goats that ate it produced more milk. It was also the plant that inspired the development of modern diabetes medications (metformin is based on compounds found in Galega).
Traditional Uses: Goat’s Rue is primarily valued as a galactagogue—it’s one of the most powerful herbs for increasing breast milk supply. It’s also used for metabolic support, helping to balance blood sugar levels and support healthy metabolism. It has mild diuretic properties as well.
How to Prepare: As a tea, steep 1-2 teaspoons in hot water for 10-15 minutes. The flavor is bitter and somewhat unpleasant—best blended with mint or licorice. As a tincture, take 30-60 drops up to three times daily. Often used in combination with other galactagogues like fenugreek.
Safety & Considerations: Generally recognized as safe during lactation. Not for use during pregnancy. May interact with diabetes medications. Monitor blood sugar if you have hypoglycemia. Consult your healthcare provider before use.
