Sweet Briar Oil

Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

The seeds of this shrub are very rich in saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids: Linolenic, Linoleic, Oleic and Palmitic acids. It contains also a large amount of ascorbic acid. Commonly used as emollient and wound-healing agent without a valid clinical proof on effectiveness. Cooked products of the fruit are used for treatment of colds and gastrointestinal disorders. (Fitoterapia.net, Jiménez 2013, Santos 2009, Franco 2007, Hornero 2000, Moreno 1990) 

At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found.

Based on its low toxicity (Fitoterapia.net), an occasional and moderate use is not regarded as risky while breastfeeding.

Do not apply on the breast to prevent ingestion by the infant. If necessary, apply after a feed and clean thoroughly with water before the next.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.

Jose Maria Paricio, Founder & President of APILAM/e-Lactancia

Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.
