Are Tea Tonic teas safe to drink during pregnancy?
Most of our teas are safe to drink while pregnant.
Well-Being and Relaxation Tea are highly recommended, during this stage. Well-Being is brilliant whilst breastfeeding, as it goes through the breast milk and help stop colic in the baby (as it helps reduce acid reflux, due to the alfalfa & spearmint) and reduce the occurrence of mastitis in the boobs (due to the Calendula in the tea).
Some women choose not to have any caffeine in their diet, as it is a personal choice. Click here to find what teas have free of caffeine.
There are a few teas we do recommend avoiding. With the Australiana Tea we would avoid this in the first trimester as it has a naturally occurring very high volatile oil content, and essential oils should be avoided. If you suffer high blood pressure during your pregnancy, I would also avoid Licorice Lover Tea and Throat Soother Tea.
