Peppermint Tea

[*Efjay*]

Does anyone know if its safe to drink this while our pg? I can sort of remember that its not recommended while breastfeeding as it can dry up your milk.
Well I am breastfeeding also but I'm not too concerned there.
I really like peppermint tea & its kinda a healing thing for me (involves green men, but yeah anyway LOL) I would like to drink some to help with my morning sickness (well afternoon sickness) is it ok?

FionaJill,

I think I read that peppermint essential oils are bad, but drinking in a tea form is ok. The only reason I remember this is because it is the only tea I drink, so I remember the fact that I am not cut off from it. In fact i think they recommend it as something to settle m/s or heartburn or indigestion or something!!!

HTH!

Is there spearmint tea? That may be a good alternative.

Thats good enough for me, off to boil the jug!

Peppermint and spearmint essential oils should be avoided. But the tea is fine. It's good for morning sickness and heartburn/indigestion.
