I am not patricia, but  allow me to enlighten you a little.

Goat' rue or galega officinales is not allowed to be grown in the United
States as it is consicered a noxious weed- similar to Kudzu- once it gets
started it won"t quit. It does grow in Canada and Europe though.

galega also is an antidiabetic and works directly on the islet of langerhans
and the liver for that purpose ot lower blood sugar levels, therefor it
should not be used with those clients who have hypo- glycemia. Animal
Husbandry studies it increases milk supplies of moms by as much as 50 %.

Galega seems to open up and develop the mammary tissue, by possibley
allowing the pituitary to secrete the hormones better.   Mom's tissue seems
to expand and the width between the breasts actually decreases with use. Pat
drazin can explain this phenomenon a little better as her practice is larger
than mine.  I have not been able to find this in capsules, but I purchase in
large bulk quantities could make caps , but i make my own tincture.  the
usual dose is 3 ml 3-4 x daily.  This is not advertising , but i do carry it
and sell it on my web site- (web moms this is just for information)

If you want to read more or see more will place my site under my signature
