Sheesh. File under "Words Whose Meanings You'll Never Guess." :-)
Wow, what a word! I thought it might refer to a demagogue on a galactic scale. Wikipedia defines it thus: "A galactagogue is a substance, typically a herb, that increases lactation. The most commonly used herbal galactagogues are fenugreek, blessed thistle, and alfalfa; others include anise, astragalus root, burdock, nettle, fennel, and vervain."
