What it is
An Ayurvedic herb traditionally used for women's reproductive health. Small trials suggest it may increase breast milk production and support hormonal balance throughout different life stages. Human evidence from clinical trials is still limited, with most support coming from traditional use. Generally well tolerated with a good safety profile.
