Ok to drink herbal drink?

Question

I've been dealing with terrible anxiety attacks. I heard the seven blossom tea helps to calm down. Im currently 6 weeks pregnant. My OB was ok with me drinking the tea. But when I looked it up it said it may cause me to get contractions! I don't know if I should drink the tea if ny doctor said it was ok to drink! Any opinions?

Answer

What about a different kind of tea? Apple cinnamon or a white tea like peach or blueberry even vanilla? Sometimes it's just the whole "warm mug in your hands, warm smell inhaling a relaxing yummy scent" that can really help along with deep breathing, calming music and a nice bubble bath. As someone who takes medication for anxiety attacks I had to seek alternative measure when pregnant. I also would go for long walks, increase water intake and do a lot of deep breathing. It can be overcome or at least lessened. I would really caution against anything that could potentially cause miscarriage in the first and second trimester. Your dr may not really know what the tea is. Sometimes dr's will say something is ok when it's not when they perceive it to be low risk and are not sure what it is but it falls under a low risk area, such as teas or herbal meds.

Answer

It's contraindicated during pregnancy in any amount. I wouldn't drink it. Seek alternative therapies

Answer

You'd have to drink gallons to have a harmful effect.

Answer

I drink different herbal teas all the time and did with all of my kids, it was never a problem.
