Dill water to increase lactation
Our great-grandmothers and grandmothers did not have the opportunity to use modern products that are available in the form of teas, drops and mixtures that improve lactation. At one time they used proper nutrition and folk remedies to increase lactation.
Unfortunately, in the modern world, problems with lactation happen much more often than in those days. And no one wants to lose the precious union, which occurs only through feeding, between mother and child. And mothers begin to look for reasons why lactation has been disturbed, and how to restore it.
If you ask a woman in old age how to increase the amount of milk in a nursing mother, she will answer that you need to drink dill water. In addition to the fact that dill water increases lactation, it is also an excellent solution for relieving colic in babies. And in fact, almost all teas in modern pharmacies contain fennel and dill seeds to increase lactation.
You can buy ready-made dill water in pharmacies. But it is only sold in specialized pharmacies that make prescription drugs. Dill water from a pharmacy is prepared on the basis of fennel oil, which is also called pharmaceutical dill.
