Product Description
Blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus) is a plant that has been a part of herbal medicine since the Middle Ages. It has been used as a diuretic, a treatment for loss of appetite and indigestion, and as a stimulant for milk production in nursing mothers. Originally from the Mediterranean, this prickly plant now grows in many places throughout the world.
Health Benefits and Uses of Blessed Thistle
It is believed to help increase a low breast milk supply.
It has been used to treat diseases of the liver, gallbladder, stomach and intestines.
It is believed to decrease gas and help with indigestion.
It is used to improve appetite.
It may help with depression by elevating mood.
Blessed Thistle and Breastfeeding
Blessed thistle is believed to be a galactagogue, taken to help make more breast milk. It appears to work best when used in combination with fenugreek, however, it can also be used with fennel, alfalfa, stinging nettle and goat's rue. Some commercially prepared teas and products such as Traditional Medicinal's Mother's Milk Tea or Motherlove's More Milk and More Milk Plus contain blessed thistle along with other herbs that promote milk production.

Blessed Thistle + Fenugreek for Increased Milk Supply
By A. Karlsson on December 21, 2014
I use Blessed Thistle in combination with Fenugreek for increased breast milk supply. Taking these supplements does not increase milk supply for every breastfeeding mom, but you have a better chance of increasing supply if you take both Blessed Thistle AND Fenugreek together. You should smell like maple syrup from the Fenugreek - that's how much you should be taking! I normally take 3 capsules 3x daily of each Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. Some people may need more. You generally notice an increase in production 24-72 hours after starting the herb, but it can take two weeks for others to see a change.
You should try other methods of increasing milk supply (working in extra pumps, hydrating, getting enough rest (hahaha)) before turning to supplements over-the-counter or prescription. I used the KellyMom website as a knowledge base during my breast feeding (1 child, 12 months and counting as a full time working mother).
Thanks for taking the time to read my review, and I hope you found it helpful in making a purchase decision.
