Phytochemical screening and galactagogue of banana flower (Musa x paradisiaca ABBB) extract on lactating rats

Some plants are known to have high level of phytochemical constituents that promote lactation (galactagogue)for nursing mothers (Goyal, etal, 2008). Herbal galactagogue are recommended by practitioners of the traditional systems of medicine for increasing milk secretion in constituents in banana flo...
