Peppermint Tea

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.

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