Product Description

Organic, caffeine-free Woman's Nursing Mom Tea is a delicious, organic way to promote healthy milk flow and provide the best groundwork for your baby's lifelong nutrition. This formula includes organic fennel seed (foeniculum vulgare), suggested by Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine to support milk production in nursing mothers, and organic Fenugreek, used as a breast tonic by Middle Eastern doctors. Woman's Nursing Mom tea also contains organic anise, another good tasting herb. These three seeds were traditionally used as galactagogues, a group of agents that promote lactation. For minor digestive upset sometimes accompanying nursing, enjoy the soothing support of organic chamomile flower, which the German Commission E recognizes for the digestive tract. Fragrant and calming organic lavender help to relieve the stress of a new baby. The yogis believe that mother's milk offers everything a child needs physically to support a healthy digestive and immune system. Breastfeeding is also the key to your child's emotional development, since it is known to have a comforting effect. Let Woman's Nursing Mom tea help you build a sense of security in your child for a warm and loving future. Note: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

About the Brand
In 1969, Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring spiritual leader, began teaching Kundalini Yoga in America. He shared the knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India. After each class he would serve a special spice tea to his students, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. Given the unique, healthful properties of these delicious spices, they are still included in many Yogi Tea formulas as an added boost for overall well-being.

Ayurveda (science of life) is a comprehensive philosophy and health system developed 5,000 years ago in India. Ayurvedic medicine combines natural therapies with a balanced approach to treatment of disease. Ayurvedic philosophy places equal emphasis on body, mind and spirit as it strives to restore the innate harmony of the individual.

In the 1970s, small businesses began to take root under the inspiration and dedication of a number of Yogi Bhajan’s students. Golden Temple Vegetarian Restaurants opened in the United States, Canada and Europe. The rich and spicy aroma of Yogi Tea brewing permeated the environment, and soon customers wanted to brew their own at home. Through these restaurants, the first batches of Yogi Tea were sold to the public.

In 1984, this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. Soon, the spices were more finely ground and sold in tea bags, and by 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors. In 1988, Yogi Bhajan and his team of master herbalists expanded the line to address specific health needs by creating highly specialized herbal formulas. In 1991, the company decided it would use organic ingredients. Obstacles immediately arose, as there simply weren’t enough organic herbs and spices available. But following a four-year-long effort, a partnership was formed with ForesTrade to source organic Indonesian cinnamon, the most-used ingredient at the time, and several other spices from community-based organic farms.

Currently, 17 Yogi Teas are certified organic, but all contain organic ingredients in variable proportion. The company sources 63 organic herbs and spices and is always looking for new organic sources as some of the natural healing herbs, oils and extracts used are not yet available organically.

Yogi Teas have continued to evolve, meeting the ever-changing needs of the customer. In 2007, the entire Yogi Tea line is being repackaged and introduced as a collection of newly defined Body, Mind, Spirit product lines. This new way of thinking takes tea beyond a simple beverage and into a way of living.

Each of the more than 50 Yogi Teas is formulated for a different purpose. Whether it’s time to jump start the day, participate in or recover from physical activity, calm the mind and clarify thoughts or revive the spirit and reflect on the world, there’s a Yogi Tea to meet that need.

Yogi Teas are developed and produced at the company’s modern manufacturing facility in Eugene, Oregon. There the highest-quality herbs and spices, expert knowledge of the health benefits of each ingredient and the wisdom of Ayurveda are incorporated into every tea.

Customer Reviews

I love this stuff!
I figured my supply may need a boost. After looking at my choices, I purchased Yogi. It really is the best tea I've tasted so far. I admit that I drink alot simply because I love the taste. I don't know how well it helped my supply, but I have been nursing my 10mo every 3-4 hrs without problems.
I think that just taking in the extra fluids helps. If you are having a big dip in your milk supply I would suggest taking Fenugreek capsules. Makes you smell like maple syrup, but really works. Fenugreek in combination with this tea should help supply issues. I'd continue drinking the tea long after supply is back to normal, sort of insurance. Oatmeal has been said to help too.
If your supply is causing nursing problems or concerning you, please contact your lactation consultant or midwife. With help a low supply really can be fixed.
Good luck and happy nursing!

Faithful User
Although I just stopped nursing after 14 months, I am a definite advocate of the Yogi Teas, particularly this one. It is flavorful and it works. I don't know if it's the tea or the fluid intake itself, but I found it to help when my supply started to get low. For you new breast feeders out there, nothing helps more than pumping/feeding often, but it's nice to have this tea as a back-up!

Okay
I don't know if this does anything to help with milk production or not, but the taste is a little off for me. If you like black licorice, you'll love it. Otherwise, I suggest a lot of honey!
