#1. Is herbal tea safe during pregnancy?

Hibiscus tea may cause hormone levels fluctuations that are not safe, particularly during the first three months of pregnancy. Hibiscus tea can also be “emmenagogue” to stimulate blood or menstruation into the uterus. 

#2. What tea is not safe during pregnancy?

Most herbal teas should be avoided. Only raspberry leaf, peppermint, ginger and lemon balm are currently considered safe. However, women can benefit by skipping the first two in their months of pregnancy.

#3. What is the best time to drink herbal tea (hibiscus)?

Hibiscus contains flavonoids that reduce the absorption of fats. If you drink a cup after dinner, your body will not be so quick to stick unwanted fats from the food that fills your heart.

#4. What herbs should I avoid during pregnancy?

Other herbs that are traditionally considered with caution during pregnancy include Andrographis, boldo, catnip, essential oils, feverfew, juniper, liqueur, nettle, red clover, rosemary, shepherd’s purse and yarrow.

Modern research has also raised concerns about many herbs.

#5. What are the fruits to avoid during pregnancy?

Fruits to avoid during pregnancy include the following.

  • Papaya – For obvious reasons, it tops the list
  • Pineapple – These are not recommended for pregnant women as they contain certain enzymes that alter the structure of the cervix, which can trigger premature contractions.
  • Grapes – Not recommended for grape consumption in the final three months.

#6. Can I drink turmeric while pregnant?

It is safe to take small amounts of turmeric during pregnancy. However, pregnant women should avoid using these spices or taking medical doses. Turmeric is a spice that people have been using for thousands of years for both taste and medicinal properties.

#7. Is it okay to drink hibiscus tea every day?

In calculating the results, the researchers concluded that daily use of herbal tea (hibiscus) reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 7.5 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by an average of 3.53 mmHg.

#8. Is it good to drink hibiscus tea every day?

Study participants drank three 8-ounce light-coloured herbal teas or placebo drinks daily for 6 weeks. Those who drank hibiscus tea found a significant decrease in their systolic blood pressure compared to those who drank the placebo drink.
