Bless Thy Boobs - Lactation Tincture

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) The queen of Ayurvedic postpartum medicine.
Shatavari — meaning “she who possesses a hundred husbands” — has been used for thousands of years to nourish the female reproductive system, support healthy prolactin levels, and encourage an abundant milk supply. As a deeply nutritive adaptogen, she also helps regulate the postpartum hormonal rollercoaster, supporting emotional steadiness and recovery alongside lactation. The lead herb in this blend, and for good reason.
Benefits for Postpartum:
Supports prolactin production and sustained milk supply
Balances postpartum hormones and supports emotional wellbeing Deeply restorative and nourishing to the reproductive system

Blessed Thistle (Cnicus benedictus) A time-honoured galactagogue with centuries of tradition behind it.
Blessed Thistle works through the bitter reflex — stimulating circulation and digestive activity in a way that directly supports milk flow. It’s also a digestive ally, helping ease the bloating and sluggish digestion many new mamas experience in the early weeks postpartum.
Benefits for Postpartum:
Stimulates milk production through bitter galactagogue action Supports healthy digestion and reduces postpartum bloating Gentle enough to use alongside other lactation support

Moringa (Moringa oleifera) The miracle tree of postpartum nourishment.
Called the “miracle tree” across Africa and Asia, Moringa is one of the most nutrient- dense plants on the planet — rich in iron, calcium, vitamin C, and essential amino acids. As a galactagogue with a deeply nutritive profile, it supports milk production while simultaneously replenishing the mama making it. If your supply has dipped, Moringa is the deep nourishment your body is asking for.
Benefits for Postpartum:
Boosts milk supply through nutritive galactagogue action Replenishes vitamins and minerals depleted by pregnancy and birth Supports energy levels and overall postpartum recovery

Take 1 pump (1ml) sublingually or in a small amount of warm water, 3 times daily, ideally 30 minutes before meals. Safe for daytime use — non-sedating. One 50ml bottle provides approximately 25–30 days of use at the recommended dose.

For Best Results:

• Be consistent – Take daily for 1–2 weeks to assess effects. Some notice changes in a few days; for others, it may take a week.

• Continue for 4–6 weeks if helpful, then reduce or stop once your milk supply is stable.

• Use as needed during low-supply times like growth spurts, stress, or illness.

Support Your Supply:

• Nurse or pump often to encourage milk flow

• Stay well-hydrated and nourished

• Follow the recommended dosage

Q: Why do you not use fenugreek?

A: While fenugreek is often used in breastfeeding teas to boost milk production, it can have side effects. Fenugreek may worsen hypothyroidism, cause digestive discomfort (like gas or diarrhea), lower blood sugar, and trigger allergies in some women. Its strong lactation effects can also lead to fussiness and digestive issues in babies. Instead, we use other milk-boosting herbs without these risks.

Q: I feel I could use some more support; can this be taken with other Mother Moon products?

A: Yes, all Mother Moon products are safe to take together. They should be taken 30 minutes before meals with as little water as possible for best results.

Q: Will Bless Thy Boobs help mama’s who exclusively pump too?

A: Mamas who exclusively pump should make sure they are feeding themselves well and are on a pumping schedule that promotes let downs. However, this may not be enough for some, so Bless Thy Boobs is a perfect supplement for pumping mamas!

Q: How do I take this? Can I mix this with juice or a smoothie?

A: All of our tinctures can be taken sublingually (under the tongue), orally, or in juice, water, smoothies etc.

Q: What about the alcohol content and breastfeeding?

A: Some moms choose to abstain from all alcohol while nursing, but I like to remind people that a dose of a tincture has about as much alcohol in it as a ripe banana.  Use your intuition and decide what feels right for you and your baby.
