Using Herbs for Pregnancy
The herbs used for pregnancy are the same herbs that have been used by midwives for centuries. One area of great benefit is their high concentration of vitamins, minerals, and other constituents that provide an excellent source of concentrated nutrition. Making herbal teas, enjoying a relaxing and stimulating herbal bath, and massaging the skin with homemade herbal oils is one way to ground the expectant mother in the natural rhythms of the life cycle. Ideally every pregnancy should be guided by the gentle hand of a trusted health care professional, and expectant mothers should also be able to avail themselves of all the choices that modern medicine can afford. |

| Pregnancy and childbirth are generally a healthy and joyous time, however problems and complications can and do occur. Be very careful to avoid mixing herbs and prescription medicines during pregnancy, and do your homework to find out which herbs are safe, and avoid those that are not. As a rule of thumb, herbs that are classified as emmenagogues, (bring on the menstrual cycle), should be avoided. |
Using Aromatherapy
Oils that contain thujone, and oils that are classified as emmenagogues, (bring on the menstrual cycle), should be avoided. |

Ginger tea For: Morning sickness |
 Profile
| Hot ginger tea served with lemon and honey is a delicious way to treat morning sickness. Although there are warnings in Chinese medicine about the use of ginger during pregnancy, used in moderation (the equivalent of 2 teaspoons, or 1 gram, two to three times per day) poses no risk to the health of the mother or developing baby. Recent studies indicate that eating as much as 2 to 3 tablespoons of raw ginger or 5 to 8 table-spoons of cooked ginger (15 or 40 grams, respectively) daily will not stimulate uterine contractions. If this is a concern for you, consider using Cardamom instead Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) | |
