Healing severe adrenal fatigue with young, busy kids at home - Page 2

[Lazurii]

When I started taking the Herb Pharm adrenal tincture it decreased my milk supply.  I cannot find the links now, but my research had lead me to believe it was the prickly ash bark.  It coincided with my desire to wean anyways, so I took advantage of that.

I was nursing a toddler at the time, so we only nursed during the days at nap time and bed time.  She had free access to the breast at night and nursed often.  Maybe it wouldn't affect a mother that was nursing more often.

Thanks for the sharing your experience with Adrenal Support Tonic. Many reputable herbal resources including the just published second edition of the Botanical Safety Handbook (BSH) make no mention of Prickly Ash or any of the other herbs in this compound decreasing lactation. However, if you are concerned about Prickly Ash, Stress Manager could be another adaptogenic formula to consider. It contains no Prickly Ash and none of the herbal components have contraindications for nursing in the BSH.
