One of the LCs at our hospital recently had a couple who were from India.
Mom's milk supply low -- long story -- the LC recommended, among other things,
fenugreek.  When mom came back in for a recheck, she asked about the
fenugreek.  Dad said they hadn't done it, but had done an old Indian remedy
for low milk supply instead.  To wit:

1/2 cup dill seeds
Steep in water overnight
boil until very dark in color
strain
drink one cup of this dill tea a day.

Mom's milk supply was way up.  Anyone heard of this or know what the possible
mode of action might be?
