Have I been taken in by the health food shop AGAIN?

[sushistar]

Health food shops are awful for me - I always come out with a load of stuff I don't need (yoghurt-coated quinoia anyone?)
So today i got 'nursing tea' - fennel and anise are the main ingerdiants. I'm drinking some now, it's vile. Will it really help my milk production, or have I been 'ad?

Nope fennel & anise are both commonly used galactagogues.

See here for some details:

....even if it has no effect I'd keep it in your cupboard - fennel tea is excellent for indigestion & trapped wind etc.
