Is star anise tea safe to drink while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid star anise: Avoid drinking star anise. Star anise contains anethole a phytoestrogen. This means it has estrogen like effects. It is thought to be a galactogogue (promoting breast milk production) but is unproven.
