Herbs and Pregnancy

All our herbs are safe for pregnant and lactating women in normal culinary use following the information released on the website of the American Pregnacy Assosiation.

To be safe we like to add that some of our herbs might be unsafe for pregnant women when used in medical doses (multiple cups a day for longer periods). They are mentioned by The University of Texas as contraindicated. Not because they are poisonous, but because they stimulate (blood flow to) the uterus (if you have one) and thus can induce menstruation or result in contractions.

Herbs featuring on this list and in our tea blends are yarrow, mugwort, daminia, angelica root and astragalus root.

Did you buy a blend with one of these herbs in them?
No worries, they will keep and will help you recover when the time is right!

Stay safe!
