So there are South Africans on the list! Thank you all for your replies. I
am sure that she did not mean rooibos tea since that is easily available in
Israel (we even have these really delicious mixed teas of rooibos and other
herbs/spices). If she meant the Weleda tea then she is in luck since it
just recently came here too. I never saw the name of it, just that they now
have a 'galactagogue' tea. So if its a back home remedy she is looking for
she need only go a few blocks.
Thanks again,
All the best,
Chayn in Israel
