what tea's are safe?
What is the scoop on teas? I’m reading no herbal teas or black tea. I usually drink a Lemon tea but on the packet I see it says “herbal” should I avoid this? And safe for my favorite Lemon Blueberry Passion Tea-it says herbal. I’m just so confused.
I made Mandarin orange but didn’t drink it-b/c I just saw on a site to avoid this kind of tea too?

Re: what tea's are safe?
My doctor never said anything about herbal teas and I have had a few cups. You just need to be careful with caffeine.

Everyone is going to have a different opinion, but my midwife said that they're fine. Peppermint tea is one of the few things that really helps w/nausea.

Re: what tea's are safe?
I've only heard no green tea, other than that I drink it all.

That's what I heard. I drink tea all the time. It's my saving grace when I am not feeling well (which has been all day lately ).

Re: what tea's are safe?
Some teas have caffeine, so you can have them, but in limited quantities. (green tea has very limited caffeine)
Herbal teas are not a general "no-no". It depends on the herb itself. Anything like lemon, orange, ginger is fine. Google the specific herb to see if there is anything written about it. I think i read something about raspberry tea potentially causing contrcations or something.

That's red raspberry leaf, which is totally different than a regular raspberry tea.

Re: what tea's are safe?
My dr said as long as you're not buying loose herbal tea from Chinatown, you're fine. All of the boxed, brand-name herbal teas are ok.
