Chamomile tea = safe?

Question

I've started to come down with my first cold of my pregnancy (I'm 27w3d). My throat is really scratchy and tea with honey makes it feel so much better. I already had two 6 oz cups of chamomile tea earlier- anyone know it it's okay to have more than that?

Answer

Chamomile is fine, but many other herbal teas are not.

Answer

Make sure it's purely chamomile. Check ingredients for lemongrass or hibiscus in any tea you drink, those are the two most common ingredients in herbal teas and absolutely not safe during pregnancy. Just chamomile or peppermint is great! 👌🏼

Answer

Pretty sure it's caffeine free, right? I don't think I've heard any reservations about tea aside from the caffeine so I think you're good!
