For drying up, I have succesfully used sage (in capsule form build up to 3
capsules TID) with mint tea as fluids (exclusively in place of all other
drinks) and putting cabbage leaves in the bra continuously.  This works
remarkably well.  I have had moms use it for temporary weaning as well.
Moms have come up to me at conferences and said "I didn't bring a pump and
I'm exploding."  After teaching them Marmet's expression technique, I've
recommended the above.  They've reported that they haven't had a problem
building their supply back up again either.  BTW, sage tea is awful tasting
and not as effective, so I really do mean capsule form.  I hope this
provides another alternative.
