So after growing an inch from PM, Aguaje, Fennel and massage with my herb infused oil I am going to take a break from Fennel since all online research suggests it should not be taken in large amounts or for large periods of time without a break basically due to its effect on the nervous system, I am planning on taking a month or 2 break from fennel but keeping up on my PM and Aguaje and am wanting to add a third herb in replacement I was taking the fennel moreso for its galactagogue effect increasing prolactin etc any suggestions what to add with my PM and Aguaje? I cannot take anything that has possible mild sedative effects such as motherwort unfortunately, TIA! " alt="" title=""> " alt="" title="">

Where did you read that fennel damages the nervous system? Do you have a link? Which component is the problem? If you want to try something else, fenugreek seems like the obvious choice, but you could also try goats rue.

Breastfeeding infants had damaged nervous system from their mother taking fennel

"The essential oil if taken internally can overexcite the nervous system and cause convulsions in sensitive individuals" (ie myself whom already suffers with severe anxiety)

It also states  Avoid using fennel for long time periods or in large quantities
