Sold as “Gourmet Guatemala ECO Lactil, Ixbut Herbal Capsules, Breastfeeding Supplement to Increase Milk. ECO Lactil, Hierba Ixbut en capsulas,”

Ixbut (Euphorbia lancifolia schlecht). Ixbut is widely used in Guatemala and several Mesoamerican countries as a galactogogue. A herbal tea, made of leaves of ixbut (Euphorbia lancifolia Schlecht.), has been used for several centuries by postpartum Mayan women in Guatemala to stimulate and increase the flow of mother's milk. To date, the active principle of ixbut has never been isolated. However, this medicinal herb, a natural galactagogue of Central American origin, would appear to be worthy of further chemical and pharmacological study. Also known in Guatemala as “Isbut”, “low milk”, or dairy herb, it has been traditionally used after childbirth mainly to stimulate milk secretion, it has even been seen as capable of producing milk in women who had already lost it. To take Ixbut during the lactation period, 1 to 2 cups of infusion is recommended for 25 days at 10%, that is, 1 teaspoon of dry leaves per cup.
