<<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....
Best wishes
