LACTESSA Stop Stop for easier control and reduction of lactation
Natural tea Lactesa Stop for easier control and reduction of lactation
Lactesa Stop Tea is a carefully crafted herbal formula for mothers with hyperlactation, engorged and engorged breasts or for smooth weaning. The combination of sage, mint, hibiscus and licorice is inspired by traditional herbal practice and modern experience in supporting breastfeeding mothers. The aim is to gently and predictably reduce breast milk production while maintaining breast comfort. See this article for more information.
Main advantages
Helps reduce lactation - suitable for hyperlactation (overproduction of breast milk), strong let-down reflex and during weaning.
Relieves tension and congestion – promotes chest comfort.
Gentle action and pure composition – 100% natural herbs, without caffeine and artificial additives.
Harmonious taste – refreshing mint with a mild sweetness and a fruity note.
Composition:
Sage – Salvia officinalis – traditionally used for hyperlactation and weaning. Sage is the most commonly used herb when aiming for a controlled decrease in milk production. It contains terpenoids (including thujone) which are empirically believed to affect the prolactin axis and the let-down reflex.
Peppermint – Mentha piperita - Peppermint is associated with reducing overflow and lowering the oxytocin reflex. The menthol it contains affects the let-down reflex and reduces chest tension.
Hibiscus – Hibiscus sabdariffa - traditionally used to lower serum prolactin and reduce breast milk production - works most effectively in the early stages of lactation.
Licorice – Glycyrrhiza glabra - a second-line lactosuppressant — improves receptivity and hydration and is potentiated in combination with sage and licorice.
Who is it suitable for?
Mothers with hyperlactation.
If necessary, reduce breast milk.
For easier weaning when you want a controlled reduction in breastfeeding.
How to prepare and take - see here detailed instructions and measures
Dose: 2 filter sachets 3 times daily (total of 6 sachets in 24 hours).
Preparation: Pour 1-6 sachets with 200–800 ml of boiling water. Steep for 5 minutes, drain the sachets and consume warm or chilled.
Distribution during the day: morning, afternoon and before bedtime.
Important: it is better to have a slightly larger/more concentrated evening dose – drink a full glass of extract from 2 sachets immediately before bed. This helps to control lactation more consistently at night.
Do not exceed a total of 6 packets per day.
After achieving the desired effect, reduce or discontinue use.
When weaning: use short-term, in courses of 3–5 days, with breaks according to your comfort.
Note: Always consider the dosage based on the sensation of your breasts and the baby's behavior. If your goal is to increase breast milk, this product is not suitable.
Attention
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake!
Not recommended during pregnancy.
Sage is not recommended for women suffering from epilepsy.
Due to licorice content: avoid when taking corticosteroids or other medications that affect potassium balance.
