Hi, we use fenugreek often in our unit with good results.The studies indicate a minimum of 3 grams a day is reqired for any effect ,ie to maintain supply. To increase supply up to 6 grams is required , these doses are usually divided up and given tds with meals,ie 2grams with breakfast lunch and dinner .If it causes diarrhoea,which is about the only side effect,cut the dose down.Fenugreek causes perspiration to smell like maple syrup and the mother needs to take enough fenugreek for this to happen for it to be effective Lyle PS their is lots of info on the net about its use
>>> lyn kelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/12/02 12:39pm >>> BlankDear list, Could you please help me by giving some information about the use of fenugreek in the period after birth. A client has asked about its use, but I don't know much about it. Does it increase or decrease milk production? Does it assist uterine involution? Does it assist iron uptake? Should it be used in conjunction with other herbs? What is the best way to use/take it? As I said I don't know anything about it. Thanks in advance.
