A patient just contacted me and thanked me for helping her achieve pregnancy and now she’s a mother. She does have a different problem now: she is not producing enough milk for her baby. I did some research and arrived at a formula called Zeng Ru Gao, meaning Augment Milk Paste. It’s a patented formula available as a paste for topical application but it can be translated into a formula for oral consumption. I’m sharing the formula here because I have the Chinese source with the constituent herbal content amounts. There’s a conceit in herbal medicine that even the component herbs for a formula are known the constituent amounts of each ingredient are kept secret. I think that is silly so here it is:
