The inflorescences of this plant, native to Europe, are used. It contains polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, etc. Properties attributed without sufficient clinical evidence: healing, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory (local, dermatological). There is no evidence of its efficacy when taken orally to treat gastrointestinal disorders (Blumenthal 1998 p318). Indications Commission E of the German Ministry of Health and the EMA: topical treatment of mild skin inflammation, ulcers and burns. (WHO 2010 and 2002, EMA 2008, Blumenthal 1998 p100)
At the time of the last update, we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
It is a plant with no significant toxicity. (Posadzki 2013)
The small dose and low plasma absorption of most topical dermatological preparations make it very unlikely that significant amounts will pass into breast milk.
Although it has been used (Petrie 2000, nad 1988), there is no evidence of its efficacy in the treatment of nipple cracks or inflammation (Amir 2011) and better quality studies are needed (As'adi 2018). If applied to the breast, it should be done after feeding and cleaned off before breastfeeding.
