One of the famous galactogogue (substance to increase the milk production) is Chinese water chesnut. Water chestnut is known as sengkuang Cina is a tuber nut with great nutrient benefits. It contains high carbohydrates and a good replacement for grains. It is also a good source for fibre and vitamin B, and also contains Potassium, Calcium, zinc and iron.
Among the water chestnut’s benefit known in our region:
- To increase milk production.
- To reduce body heat.
- To relief jaundice (not for babies, as babies are recommended to be breastfed alone).
- Cough reliever.
- Source of energy – high in calorie.
- Promote urination. Good for UTI.
- To relieve nauseousness.
- To be used in detox.

Fresh water chestnut can be get at the supermarket such as Servay, Giants, Tesco, etc. However, F&N made our life easier by producing water chestnut drink in aluminium tin named Season
