   I would either talk to your doctor first or look it up online, a lot of those herbal foods aren’t good when you’re pregnant. There are actually some herbs that are said to induce miscarriages. I’m sure it’s safe, but i would look it up first.

   My mom bought some herbs for me to make a drink out of. All the women in my family has used it including my cousin who had 2 babies in the past 2 years. Her kids are totally healthy. My midwife is skeptical of it since she doesn’t believe in it but I don’t see it harming any babies in my family thus far.

   There are literally thousands of Chinese herbal formulas. Some are safe to take with pregnancy, while others are contraindicated.

   Most medical doctors have absolutely ZERO training in herbal medicine. You need to speak with a certified, or licensed, professional acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist in your area to get a knowledgeable and educated consultation.

   In the USA, visit http://www.nccaom.org to find a professional in your area. If you choose not to consult with an educated professional, your best course of action is to NOT take any herbal medicinals.
