Tea? Good and bad

Question

So I've been staying away from coffee but I would really love to have some tea to settle my stomach. I've been avoiding it completely though because I'm so unsure which teas are safe. Can anyone help?

Answer

From what I've read in my books, all tea is fine except for green tea. It does something to prevent your body from absorbing folic acid, or something like that. I love black tea, it doesn't have a whole lot of caffeine, so it's easy to not go over the recommended 200mg that you're supposed to stay under. As for gas, peppermint and chamomile tea work really well! They are also herbal and non-caffeinated. 😊

Answer

Would you suggest for ginger just using actually ginger or buying "ginger tea"? Assuming drinking lemon/ginger infused water would be safe as well, right?

Answer

Most herbal teas are safe and caffeine free.

Dandelion root tea is one of my favorites (it's a bit of an acquired taste) and it's great for the liver

Raspberry root is safe from the second trimester on and is good to help prepare the uterus

Ginger tea is great for morning sickness

Black, oolong, herbal grey and green should be limited only due to their caffeine. Also try and limit steeping time of tea that contains caffeine.

Herbs to avoid completely are:
ST. Johns wart 
Pennyroyal (know to cause miscarriage) 
Ginseng 
Don Quai
Yarrow
Licorice root

Luckily most of these are rare in teas. But it's always best to double check.

I'm not a coffee drinker and loveeeee teas.
