http://www.herbalabs.org/Hua_Jiao.htm says: According to one report,

163 women who wanted to stop lactation immediately after labor were

treated with one 400 mg capsule of Huajiao, tid for 3-4 days, with a

93.9% rate of effectiveness. The herbal capsule was prepared by

grinding the herb into powder and placing it in capsules. 7

 

Indian Sage Tea (drunk tid) also is said to stop lactation. Parsley,

Thyme, Yarrow & Black Walnut are also mentioned as antilactagogues.

Chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus), castor, and jasmine (Jasminum

sambao) apparently exert both lactagogue and antilactagogue effects, a

seemingly contradictory phenomenon known as an amphoteric or

bidirectional normalizing effect. Sage (Salvia officinalis) has a reputation

as an antilactagogue although no supporting evidence is available in the

medical literature.

 

Also, consider diuretics / laxatives to divert fluid elsewhere.
