Organic Goat’s Rue Tea | Galega officinalis

Organic Goat’s Rue Tea is a traditional loose leaf herbal infusion made from the dried aerial parts of Galega officinalis. It has a mild, earthy flavour with a slightly bitter, bean-like finish, making it easy to enjoy on its own or blended with other herbs.

Goat’s Rue has a long history of use in European herbal traditions and is especially well known as a herb traditionally used by breastfeeding mothers. It is also commonly discussed in relation to metabolic and digestive wellness, although the evidence for these uses is limited and it should not be treated as a medicine. LactMed notes that Goat’s Rue is widely used internationally as a galactagogue, but also states that there are no scientifically valid clinical trials supporting this use. It also notes that Goat’s Rue contains guanidine derivatives, including galegine, which may affect blood sugar.

Our Organic Goat’s Rue Tea is a simple, single-herb infusion with no additives, flavours, preservatives or fillers.
