“I have been recommended Satavarex for better lactation. Is it safe?”

Hello! Ayurvedic medicine is, unfortunately, not my area of expertise. I would recommend speaking to an Ayurvedic practitioner to better answer that. However, as a naturopath, I have a background in western herbs and nutrition. Here are a couple of options that have been very useful for many women, and I’ve even used myself: Mother’s Milk tea by Traditional Medicinals is a great daily addition, and making lactation cookies or brownies! I have some examples here below, but if you use another recipe you find online, make sure they include whole oats, flax seeds and brewers yeast which are great for boosting milk supply. Also, making sure you are WELL hydrated and eating enough also makes a positive difference in milk supply. (Not drinking enough *water* is a common reason for low milk production.) Finally, keep in mind that if you’re stressing out a lot over this or overly stressed in general, that can also have a negative effect on lactation.

I am sorry, I do not know much about this product to give you an opinion, but make sure you have 2-3 liters of good drinking water, electrolytes and enough sleep and address stress if there is any.

I don't know ayurvedic herbs. The best thing I know for increasing lactation is the Chinese herbal formula Dang Gui Shao Yao San. Totally safe for pregnancy and lactation. Also, if you are not an alcoholic, then a beer really helps.
