INSUFFICIENT BREAST MILK
Table of ContentsAre you prone to a problem with 'Insufficient Breast Milk'? Find your imbalances and create a diet for your Reproductive System by taking the free reproductive health quiz: AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON INSUFFICIENT BREAST MILKGenerally, Kapha individuals most frequently report problems with milk supply, especially overweight or diabetic mothers. This may be due to Kapha's naturally lower metabolism, which causes cold and blood stagnation in the exterior (skin).Breast milk is produced through modified sweat glands. Generally, foods that increase sweating (diaphoretics, and sour foods) increase milk production. Additional, herbs that improve circulation may help, such as blood thinners. Hormones for Breast Milk ProductionProlactin is the main hormone that increases breast milk production. Herbs that increase breastmilk (Galactagogues) often stimulate prolactin. See below for examples. These can be brewed and taken in warm teas, as warm water encourages hydration and relaxation.Food, herbs and supplements that encourage release of oxytocin help with the let-down reflex. The mother should be relaxed to encourage the let down of milk. Relaxation while breastfeeding also increases prolactin levels. High blood sugar levels depress breast milk. Kapha individuals should reduce hyperglycemia with bitter galactogogues such as fenugreek. Habits that Increase Breastmilk supplyAlways nurse the baby on both sides in each feeding. After the baby drains the bulk of breast milk, squeeze the breast to release any remaining breastmilk. This will encourage the release of prolactin to maximize production. Always nurse the baby before giving the baby food. Nursing on demand is the best way to maintain supply. Do not go more than four hours at night without nursing, as prolactin levels are highest at night. Nursing frequently releases the hormones that increase breast milk production. Individuals with insufficient breast milk should avoid dopaminergic herbs that suppress prolactin, including mint, lemon balm, black cohosh, and chastetree berry. For Vata individuals, ojas building foods, nourishing tonics & sweet taste are important for increasing quantity of breast milk. ARE YOU NEW TO AYURVEDA?

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
GET STARTED
To get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.5 WAYS TO HEAL YOUR BODY

About the Author
John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda biocharacteristics. His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.
John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 6 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
