i read some sites they say spearmint (any herbs from the mint family) decreases SS, but some say otherwise. so it's increase SS for ur case, after u took MIM nursing tea?
Other herbs
Other herbs that can decrease milk supply: Peppermint (Mentha piperita), Spearmint, Parsley (Petroselinum crispum), Chickweed, Black Walnut, stinging nettles (not nettle - that increases milk supply), Yarrow, Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum), Lemon Balm, Oregano, Periwinkle Herb (Vinca minor), Sorrel (Rumex acetosa).
Sage, peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, oregano, and cabbage leaves can all be incorporated into a pressed oil (cold pressed or hot) to make massage oils for milk suppression.

if anyone trying to get raw fenugreek, can get from Indian store, malay store that sells spices.
