Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Almonds have been traditionally used in various cultures, especially in South Asia and the Middle East, to support lactation and breast milk production. Historical and anecdotal accounts suggest that almonds, due to their nutrient-rich profile, are believed by some traditional medicine practitioners and communities to enhance the quantity and quality of breast milk when consumed by nursing mothers. Common preparations include almond-based sweets, drinks, or simply raw or soaked almonds. However, the scientific evidence supporting these claims is minimal to weak. Few clinical studies have directly investigated the effects of almond consumption on breast milk production or composition. Most available evidence remains anecdotal or based on small, non-rigorous studies. No robust scientific consensus exists to confirm that almonds can "dry up" or significantly increase breast milk supply. In summary, while almonds are nutrient-dense and generally considered healthy, their use for altering breast milk production is primarily rooted in tradition rather than strong scientific evidence.
