Indians have known the value of breast milk since ancient times and have also recognised the significance of specific medicinal plants for this purpose. The Ayurvedic literature has comprehensive explanations of the physiology of milk production and ejection, illnesses that affect the quantity and quality of breast milk, and how to treat them. For the purpose of conducting additional study and developing new treatments, it is essential to explain the lost knowledge regarding plant medications that are mentioned in ancient and mediaeval Ayurvedic literature and are suggested for their Galactogogue action. Understand the mode of action of these plant drugs based on their traditional use, the principles mentioned in Ayurvedic texts, and by applying modern pharmacological ideas, in order to ensure their rational and evidence-based use and the development of safe, effective, and acceptable pharmacological dosage forms.The outcomes will provide scientific validation for traditional claims, potentially leading to improved therapeutic options for lactating mothers. Understanding these compounds' mechanisms may also contribute to broader applications in herbal medicine and lactation science.
