Herbal Supplements in
Pregnancy
by
Lisa A. Rice, MD
Welcome to the Herbal Supplements in
Pregnancy Homepage. This page is designed to provide information regarding
the possible effects of consuming herbal supplements during pregnancy on the outcome
of that pregnancy. General information about herb use is provided, as well
as more detailed information on various herbs.
It is the opinion of the author that until
adequate studies regarding the safety of herbs in relation to the progress of
pregnancy and to the developing fetus have been conducted, all herbal supplements should be avoided.
The herbs included in this page are by no means all inclusive, but they do
comprise the vast majority of herbs with a specific caution for pregnant
patients.
I hope that you find this page helpful in
your quest for accurate information.
