To make a milk boosting tea, use 1 teaspoon *each* of fennel, cumin and
dill, steeped in 8 oz of boiling water for 15-20 minutes.  Drink one
cup, three times a day.  Results should be noticable within 24 hours.
Can increase or decrease frequency as needed.
I am not a medical professional, however, this concoction has worked for
me and other nursing moms.  I'm also fond of using a fenugreek tea.  Use
a teaspoon of whole fenugreek.  Steep in boiling water for 15 minutes or
so and drink three or more times a day.
These are all foods and can be purchased in your grocers spince aisle,
or for better quality and freshness, look for them at a whole foods, or
herbal shop.
Good Luck,
Erin
