<<She may be talking about rooibos tea?>.
No, though South African babies have a unique genetic ability to thrive on 
this tea pretty much from birth.  It's an essential mothering tool here, and 
definitely the only safe thing to drink during the childbearing years.  Who 
knows how the rest of the world survives without it.

:-P

The mother is no doubt referring to Weleda's Lactagogue Tea.  I have no 
information on it.  I didn't know it was so vastly popular - I occasionally 
see mothers using the same company's Schlehen Elixir.  I guess they both 
work much the same way, ie well when breastfeeding is going well and not so 
well when the baby isn't suckling.

I'm sure, Chayne, that you can help her with the usual physical measures, 
and perhaps a "magic" Israeli remedy for the brain part of breastfeeding. 
On the other hand, something from "home" may be meaningful....
