While many herbal teas are safe during pregnancy and nursing, not all herbs are suitable. Safe options include:
- Ginger tea (helps with morning sickness)
- Raspberry leaf tea (traditionally used in late pregnancy)
- Peppermint tea (aids digestion)
However, avoid these herbs during pregnancy:
- Sage and parsley (can affect milk production)
- St. John’s Wort (may interact with medications)
- Chamomile (some doctors advise against it)
Always consult your healthcare provider before consuming any herbal teas while pregnant or nursing, as individual circumstances may vary.
