May Have Found Something Great - Check It Out!!!!!!!

For all those interested in drinking tea!
I found a webpage for "breast tea" which includes a lot of the herbs that we are taking now:
***************************************************************
http://breastea.com/shopping/nfoscomm/catalog/index.php
***************************************************************
Ingredients in Tea(s):
Roobios
Rose Hips
Lemongrass
Fenugreek
Blessed Thistle
Hibiscus
Nettle Leaf
Alfalfa
Fennel
Anise
Flavors of Teas:
Apple Spice (ingredients above plus cinnamon, natural cinnamon flavors, natural apple flavors and other natural flavors)
Regular (?) (ingredients above plus natural flavors)
Orange Mango (ingredients above plus orange peel, natural orange flavors, natural mango flavors and other natural flavors )
Peach (ingredients above plus peach leaf, peaches, and citric acid)
Chocolate Caramel (ingredients above plus natural chocolate and caramel flavors with other natural flavors, dairy, cocoa, nutmeg)
Egyptian Chamomile (ingredients above plus egyptian chamomile and no natural flavors listed)
These teas are for increasing breast milk supply - but judging by the ingredients in them, we could benefit from them as well!
The only downside: These teas sell by the bags - and one bag makes one gallon. These teas can only be stored in the refrigerator for 48 hours, and they recommend drinking 1-2 quarts a day. The recommended dose is for increasing breast milk though, so I'm sure we would have to drink less. But then the tea you made would last over 48 hours and no longer be effective.
My solution: Buy coffee filters. Break open the bags of tea and store the tea in an airtight container/jar/bag. When ready to make tea, pour the boiling water into a mug, place some tea in the center of a coffee filter, fold it around to keep it "bagged" and not mixing in with tea, then just hold it in the water for a few minutes. This way you can just have a few cups of tea a day without any going to waste.
With all these great ingredients, you think it could have SOME good effects on our breasts, right?
Here is what they say on how quick it starts working (for breast milk supply):
"As this tea starts filtering through your body, it's going to make a big increase in breastmilk production and supply... ...Some mothers see an increase in breastmilk production within the first day, and for others it make take a week. Most moms see an increase within the first 48 hours."
If it works this quickly with breast milk supply, I'm sure it would make a quick difference in size.
My only question is this: Would this cause lactation if you are not breastfeeding and you are only drinking a few cups of this a day?
I think it would be worth a try! What does everyone think??? Check out the website, check out the ingredients, let me know! I just might have to order some!

That is a good find, but they make teas that are easier to deal with as far as brewing by the cup. I think it's called Mothers Milk Tea or something like that, they have it at my local healthfood store, and I think you can order it online too. I think the ingredients are pretty much the same. I don't think it causes lactation, no. It just makes more milk if you're lactating by doing what those herbs do to our breasts for NBE. It couldn't hurt. :-)

Thank you so much for that addition! Just looked at Mother's Milk Tea, and it contains fennel seeds, coriander seeds, spearmint, lemongrass, borage leaves, blessed thistle leaves, althea root, lemon verbena, and fenugreek seeds (to all who are wondering). I think that's still very good, but I PERSONALLY would rather the breast tea as it has many of the NBE herbs I use or was planning on adding in. But yes it would be a lot easier. The rose hips, nettle, and alfalfa I have heard to be very helpful as well - which are in the breast tea. But for those who would not want to empy the packets and make their own tea bags, or those who like the ingredients better, this is very helpful find
Thank you!

Well, I'm waiting until I order my liquid kit from greenbush to order the tea at the same time but there was a testimonial that the tea doesn't taste bad so I'll be ordering that in a week or two. If u order the tea keep me posted. I also heard from this forum and theit testimonials that u get a free product gift with every offer, they have monthly free offers so check it out.

I think some have used teas. If you're a tea drinker, it's a great way to get your herbs! I've tried to ramp up my fennugreek but I think it's causing headaches, so I'm thinking of adding a little tea in here and there instead of ramping up too much on the pills.

Wow, this is awesome! Thank you! Also, maybe you could ope the tea bag and section it out in a metal loose tea holder. This wqy you could make the tea by the cup and not have to waste any...not sure if it would work, but a suggestion.

Ijust cant drink or take anything with fennel is in it-iv been put off for life and never liked it any way.
What i would like to know is,i asume you can make your own tea from herbs you choose yourself, but how?
Iv found AC in dried berry form, and other varius herbs-do you simply weigh the ammount required-(put in a bag)-Not essential you could use one of those little tea pots with the holes in-(loose tea goes in them,it has alittle chain on it))
and add boiling water?
I was thinking
Green tea
AC
cayenne
pos-red rasberry leaf?
ideally blackcurrent oil-not sure if thats possible?
any one got any boobie tea ideas or made their own?

Eve drank teas in her NBE process (and she had great success). I think teas are a very good thing to add to ones routine. When the whole Vitex thing started on the forum, I started drinking Chasteberry (vitex) tea. At that time, I also started drinking fenugreek and fennel teas as well. I tend to drink more of the vitex because I like the flavor more than the fenugreek or fennel. Anyways, I found the vitex tea before I could find the vitex capsules or extract, so that's what started the whole tea thing for me. I've enjoyed them. I don't know if I've had any growth associated with them in particular, but I'm going to continue drinking them.

bustea is very good from greenbush. Tastes good. I even tried their powdered herb bags which is ok too but I prefer the taste of the premixed one. You could also add a tea bag for flavor if you get the bulk bag and that helps. It's not horrible plain but I like more flavor to it. I also think it helps dissolve pills quicker if you take it together.

I have been on the bustea thing for about a week and its doing great..my boobs hurt soo bad.and they look bigger and its only been a week,so i will let you all know if it keeps on working..
i found out how to make it myself.
Bustea
In a saucepan, pour two cups of water over one cup of fenugreek sprouts. Add a dash or two of anise, basil, caraway, dill, fennel, licorice, marjoram and lemongrass. Bring to a boil, then let cool. Add lemon juice and honey to taste. Drink one to two cups a day.
i found it at this site.
http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/41/21.cfm
i found out that you can use fenugreek seeds instead of the sprouts.
for massage i take the fenugreek seeds and let them soak in water for about a day and when the water is yellow and a little thick like honey, i poor it in some cocoa butter and use it as a massage.
them seeds are useful in many ways.
good luck to all.

It's worth always checking the strength of herbal teas, as I noticed some of them are not very strong of the main herbs.
