                                         breast. There are several traditional medicines that are believed to  

help overcome breast milk dams, one of which is Erythrina subumbtans. However, there are still few studies that prove the effectiveness of Erythrina subumbtans in treating breast milk dams in nursing mothers (Amalia, 2019).

Then, they will be divided into two groups, namely the intervention group that will be given Erythrina subumbtans and the control group that is not given the drug. The data collected will be analyzed using statistical tests with a significance level of 5%

The location of this study is in the working area of Puskesmas Sedayu 2, Bantul, Yogyakarta with a sample of 20 respondents and Total Sampling sampling techniques. The data analysis technique used in this study was Wilcoxon.
