❓ Can pregnant women safely drink herbal tea?

While some herbal teas are safe during pregnancy, others should be avoided. Safe options include:

• Ginger tea (helps with morning sickness)
• Peppermint tea (aids digestion)
• Rooibos tea (rich in antioxidants)
• Red raspberry leaf (in moderation during later pregnancy)

Avoid these herbs during pregnancy:

• St. John's Wort
• Chamomile (in large quantities)
• Sage

Always consult your healthcare provider before consuming any herbal teas during pregnancy, as some herbs can affect hormone levels or stimulate contractions.
