Hi there, I hope you are well. -Previously,Herbal teas such as peppermint, chamomile, fennel, raspberry tea were considered safe. However, recent studies say that these teas can also have risky side-effects which is why it's best to avoid these as much as possible. - Herbal supplements may not be safe as supplements aren't regulated by the FDA and FDA treats these ad food and not medicine which is why it doesn't have to go through multiple clinical trials before entering the market. Hence, some herbal supplements can be unsafe and may contain potential allergens or toxic substances which may not be good for you or your baby. Just because it's termed herbal doesn't mean it is safe :) - Hence, I'd advice you against consuming herbal teas or herbal supplements during pregnancy. - Have your normal cup of tea of coffee in moderation, and please take supplements suggested by your gynecologist, only :) Take care ✨ all the best.

See AllI am a mother and an educator in charter schools and ABC Youth Foundation. I host several podcast it's a huge passion of mine and I also produce I strongly feel that empathy is the glue of humanity and without it what do we have for understanding one another and being kind toward one another is what keeps Us human it's what makes it work and without it what can possibly get better you must hold on to that and remember and show it where it's needed so that people can know what it is and be able to show that same to others connecting and growing with others is within the foundations of empathy that's how the world gets better so we can understand we don't have to directly know one another we must be that change and it starts with us, we must be the change we want to see!more
