About Alfafa increasing milk supply.  I have been taking it personally
and I can see an obvious difference.  I have actually been taking one
with vitamins and minerals added too.
I read about it in a book called_Smart Medicine for a Healthy Child_.
Under the herbal section it states:
Medicinal Use- Tonic, contains natural fluoride, helpjul in preventing
tooth decay
Part of Plant Used- Leaf
How Given-Tincture;tea;capsule
Possible Side effects- None known
Comments- Excellent for increasing the production of breast milk.

In another Herbal book (Growing and Using the Healing Herbs)  I have
lists:  anise, basil, dill, fennel, holy thistle, nettles, parsley and
thyme as milk increasers also.
It also states that it is rich in many vitamins and builds capillary
strength  and reduces inflamation of the stomach lining.  It is the
vitamin P.
Alfalfa tea helps in digestion of proteins, starches, fats and sugars.
It is rich in many important nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus,
iron, potassium, essential enzymes, choline, sodium and silicon, as well
as vitamins A, B6, D, K and P.  They use it to treat ulcers with
surprisingly good results.
