    Is Lemon Myrtle safe during pregnancy?

    Just wondering if Lemon Myrtle is safe to drink during pregnancy?

    My SIL's parents make an awesome lime & lemon myrtle cordial using the leaf from a lemon myrtle tree.
    I went to drink some tonight but didn't as I am unsure and can't seem to find any info on it.

    I have never seen it on a list of the oils not to touch during pregnancy, although lemon and lemongrass are sometimes referenced as possible irritants.

    I have personally never had an issue using it.

    Hope so - I have eaten SO much of it! I treat it like any other item in my spice rack. Didn't even consider that it might be an irritant. Whoops.

    Thanks everyone.
    I thought I would be a little cautious. It is a new concoction that they're trialling and I am desperate to try it out. I will definitely have some tomorrow
