Goat's Rue is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the pea family. It is native to Western and Mediterranean Asia and Southern Europe. It is named after the displeasing odor released when the plant is bruised. The plant is mucilaginous and has a bitter taste. It was traditionally used to boost breast milk production and as a diaphoretic. The leaves of Goat’s Rue were infused in water and the tea was consumed to support appropriate perspiration levels and body temperature regulation.
