Heard an interesting story during a Filipino gathering in Phoenix, Arizona. 

A young mother had difficulties lactating and her baby wasn't getting enough milk. She switched to formula, but a midwife who claimed healing powers, counseled her that mother's milk is best. During the afternoon, the midwife make her smell aromatic herbs and plants tied in a bundle while massaging her back for nearly two hours. The next day, she woke up with her clothes and sheets wet from flowing milk.

At the time, she was living in a farm in Sorsogon. It happened about 40 years age and her son (the baby) who is all grown-up and married with children, looked embarrassed. 

Her only regret was not documenting this midwife's unique skill. Her current occupation is community nurse and many young mothers today give up fairly quickly if the milk is not flowing. One or two years of formula milk can be expensive. 

If the plant was potential (mungay) it may have been lagit. Read in India and parts of Africa it is taken to increase milk productions in nursing mothers, as a tea in India, there they also take the young pods peel and steam them. These taste more like asparagus then the plant itself.
