Goat’s rue (Galega officinalis) is a targeted-use herb valued in both historical and modern herbalism for promoting lactation, aiding blood sugar balance, and gently supporting digestion and fluid metabolism. Its dried aerial parts are commonly prepared as a tea or blended into custom formulas for energy, weight, or postpartum goals.
- Traditionally used to support breast milk supply in postpartum mothers
- Contains compounds that may support blood sugar and metabolic health
- May aid digestion, reduce appetite, and support weight balance when taken before meals
- Often used by customers in blends for energy, regularity, and hormone support
- Popular in herbal nursing teas, metabolic blends, and seasonal detox routines
Tea: Steep 1 tsp per cup in hot water for 10–15 mins. Drink 1–2 cups daily. Often taken 1 hour before meals for appetite or weight support, or twice daily for lactation.
Blending: Commonly mixed with fennel, fenugreek, or blessed thistle in nursing formulas; or with nettle, cinnamon, or bilberry for blood sugar support.
Tincture: For convenient dosing, use 1–2 mL of 1:5 tincture up to three times per day.
Capsules: Less commonly used; follow professional guidance or manufacturer instructions due to herb potency.
Enjoy hot or iced: Can be pre-brewed and refrigerated as a cooling drink in warm weather.
Goat’s rue is traditionally used in Europe for nursing support and was historically brewed as a digestive tonic. It may support energy, reduce sugar cravings, and ease metabolic tension when used mindfully. Customers report feeling more stable during low-calorie routines and note visible shifts in appetite and weight when taken before meals.
