A substance or medicine that promotes the production and flow of milk, especially in nursing mothers.
From Greek 'gala' (milk) + 'agogos' (leading or bringing forth). The word was coined in medical terminology to describe substances that increase milk production.
Galactagogues include common herbs like fenugreek and blessed thistle that nursing mothers have used for centuries, and modern medicine is only now scientifically proving what traditional healers always knew.
