Hi All!
While following the line of discussion of late on the use of herbs for
relactation and for increasing supply, I noticed that information has been
requested on the use of Blessed Thistle in bf.
Recommended dosages in bf are:
Blessed Thistle - 300mg. capsules taken 2 caps 3 - 4 times daily (total
1,800 - 2,400 mg daily) or in tincture form, 30 drops every 2 - 3 hours for
48 hours then reduce to 30 drops four times daily.
Blessed Thistle (also known as Holy Thistle) has an excellent reputation
for balancing hormones, stimulating the production of prolactin and
increasing the supply of mother's milk.  It has been used successfully for
relactation, adoptive nursing and increasing supply (especially when
combined with Fenugreek).
I hope that this information helps, let me know if you have any further
questions.

Wishing you health and wellness!
