How do you feel about....

Ki

.... drinking herbal tea during pregnancy?

I used to drink quite a bit of tea. Chamomile at night and ginger or lemon echinacea if I was sick. Recently at 13 weeks I had a terrible sinus cold and wanted tea to help soothe my sinuses and headache (I usually have Throat Coat blend that is amazing for such situations). I also have been craving Chamomile and honey at night.

I don’t go back to my doctor until October 8th, so I haven’t been able to consult with her yet. With all my internet sleuth skills (yay for google) I’ve found very mixed reviews. Some say if it’s sold in a store it’s safe, others say not to risk it.

What is your philosophy on herbal tea during pregnancy? Worth it or not? Will a cup of Chamomile be my downfall?
