Mechanism of action

Milkoin for lactation, the price of which does not exceed 200 rubles, has its own pharmacological effect.

These homeopathic granules:

• have a beneficial effect on the woman's body during periods of low lactation;
• ensure the normal contraction of the uterine muscles after childbirth;
• alleviate the condition during hypogalactia;
• fight agalactia.

That is, the mechanism of action of the components in the composition of the drug is effective when problems with lactation appear.

The composition contains safe substances that do not harm the health of the baby:

• Urtica urens (or stinging nettle) has a positive effect on milk production, and also has diuretic and laxative properties. It affects the contraction of the uterus in the postpartum period, prevents the development of bleeding, possible complications. In the breast, it relieves swelling of the mammary glands and normalizes the blood supply to their ducts. This stimulates milk production in the body.
• The homeopathic properties of meadow lumbago (aka sleep-grass) are manifested in anesthetic, antibacterial and antifungal effects. Thanks to this component, inflammation in the chest stops and painful sensations disappear. The antispasmodic effect of meadow lumbago dilates blood vessels in the mammary glands and relieves swelling caused by stagnation or improper attachment of the baby to the breast during feeding.
• And for the sedative effect and normalization of the hormonal background of the drug, Agnus-castus, which is part of it, is responsible. The body produces prolactin, the leading hormone to improve milk flow.

The listed active substances, with repeated rotation and shaking during production, form a dosage form that can cause impulsive nervous irritation.

These impulses enter the brain, "informing" him about the effect on the disease. At the same time, the drug gently acts on organs prone to disease, without causing oppression in them. As a result, the affected area is gradually partially or completely restored.

• its poor quality;
• reduced production (including one year after the start of feeding);
• stagnation;
