What plants are safe during pregnancy?

Many herbs, remedies and infusions are of great help when you are pregnant; During the entire process you practically cannot take any type of medication and 9 months are enough for many very different situations. Nausea, fatigue, lack of iron are common... And when this happens, there are so many contraindications when it comes to taking something that you ask us what can be used/taken, what can't and in what proportions. Natural remedies are almost always the solution. We are going to share with you Sarah de Saar Soleares' list of safe herbs and how to use them. As Sarah tells us, most of the remedies and herbs, if not almost all, that have been used during pregnancy to treat common discomforts and problems during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum date back at least to ancient Egypt. So behind this list there are many historical, empirical tests and pharmacological studies. So what Sarah has done is a summary that focuses on everything that she has tried and is therefore safe.

List of safe plants during pregnancy

• 2 tablespoons fresh organic mint leaf
• 2 tablespoons dried organic nettle leaves
• 2 tablespoons Organic Dry Oats
• 2 tablespoons dried organic rose petals
• 3 tablespoons organic honey (optional)

How to prepare it?

Put half a liter of hot water with the herbs. Stir it and keep it covered for an hour, then strain it through a strainer. If you like the taste of honey and a sweeter touch, add a little bit (warm it a little so that it dissolves well). Let everything cool to room temperature. Once it is cold you can start drinking it throughout the day. You can safely take 300ml a day and the ideal is that you take it slowly throughout the day and not all at once so that the body assimilates it well.
