Sage tea is recommended in Germany for weaning or overproduction.  Susun
Weed recommends fenugreek for increasing prod.  Also found in another book is
that not only anise and fenchel teas are recommended for increasing
production, but lady's mantel and rasberry leaf tea are too.  And so is
Beer-yeast.(lots of Vit.  B)

    I work pt-time proofreading translations.  My latest book was on
essential oils.  After reading what is recommended for BF troubles, I cannot
rec.  the book at all!  The oils recommended were: to increase prod.  -
anise, anis-ravensera, dill, fennel, cumin, caraway, bay laurel, parsely,
peppermint(!), common sage(!), verbena.  to wean: St.John's wort, chervil,
bay laurel(see above!),parsely, peppermint, com.  sage.(see above)
Engorgement: fennel, geranium, mints, parsely, cracked nips: balsam of Peru,
benzoin, borneol, carrot, lemon, incense, onion, sandalwood, turpentine.
This book will soon be on the American market, translated from the French, to
German, to Eng.

    Winds: We have here the Fvhn winds, warm winds coming from Italy over the
Alps.  I'll have to note if there is more upset children at this time.  They
are gentle winds, but upset drivers, etc.
