Peppermint Tea?

Question

I recently picked up some Peppermint Tea after hearing it helped with nausea. I was in the ER over the weekend, diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (severe form of "morning" sickness). I haven't been able to keep down any fluids or food. Yesterday, I drank some Peppermint Tea (brand: Traditional Medicinals) and had no issues at all keeping food or fluids down. Then today I came across a few articles that said Peppermint Tea is actually not okay to take in pregnancy. I'm 7 weeks today. Picture attached shows the ingredient that is just Organic Peppermint Leaf. Anyone know if I'm good to go or to stop? I've been waiting for a phone call back from my OB office since yesterday 😑

Answer

It should be fine as it's caffeine free, and ginger is good for nausea

Answer

I've been drinking it my whole pregnancy. I also have HG and it's been helping so much, my doctor said it's fine as long as peppermint/peppermint leaf is the only ingredient. Peppermint itself helps with nausea so try to keep a few mints in your purse while on the go

Answer

I've been drinking peppermint tea throughout my pregnancy (currently 22 weeks). My doctor said it was fine.

Answer

I drink it (and most other teas) whenever I feel like it. But mostly I use the essential oil in my cleaning products and humidifier. Not saying you should go out and drink 20 cups a day, but unless your doctor has major concerns, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
