Goat's Rue for Lactation Support

Research suggests a possible role for goat's rue as part of a galactagogue regimen to support lactation, though the available evidence is extremely limited. The only identified study is a single case report from 2022 documenting induced lactation in a non-gestational parent, in which goat's rue was used alongside several other interventions including domperidone, moringa, hormone therapy, and mechanical stimulation, making it impossible to isolate any effect attributable to goat's rue alone. This case report, by its nature as an n-of-1 account, cannot establish efficacy or generalizability. Readers should be aware that no controlled trials, systematic reviews, or other higher-quality study designs were identified, meaning the current evidence base is insufficient to draw firm conclusions about goat's rue as a lactation support agent.
