Safe herbs for stress/anxiety while breastfeeding?
Looking for some suggestions for safe herbal remedies/therapies - I do breastfeed. Thanks very much!
Thank you for all the responses. I’ve been reluctant to take St John’s and still am as research goes both ways and I want to keep my baby safe. I’ll take a look for Motherwort though.
Thank you all very much.
As Amy said, chamomile tea is the bomb for relaxing. You do want to get the pure chamomile and not a mixture like Sleepy time or some other stuff. Also, it should be the flowers only, not the whole plant chopped up. I get a good kind at GNC. Took me a while to find a good one and thiers is great. My mother, grandmother and Great aunt used to grow it and once they all passed away, I had to find a new source. Good luck with that and your baby.

Motherwort would be the best (that’s why it’s called that), but Blessed Thistle would be good too. Stress/anxiety can interfere with milk production, so you could add some Fennel seed to it - if you like the taste of Anise, that’s what Fennel seed tastes a bit like.

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called "St John’s Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
