Is Herbal Tea Safe During Pregnancy?
Many women will make the effort to avoid all drugs during the course of their pregnancy, swearing off caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, prescription and over-the-counter medications. They may however, forget all about the cup of herbal tea though. Even though most herbal teas claim to be all natural health tonics, some can still be harmful, especially if you consume too much. It is not uncommon for high doses of herbal teas to cause vomiting, diarrhea and even heart palpitations. It is important that you realize that herbs are a form of drugs, even if they are natural. This does not mean that they are all safe, or good for you.
