Want to be at peak health during your pregnancy? Drink herbal teas!! I drank these teas almost every day in my pregnancies- and my body thanked me for it! Nettle leaf and Raspberry leaf are safe for pregnancy and are full of amazing nutrients that help you have a healthy pregnancy, including calcium, magnesium and iron. Remember: Healthy mama, healthy baby. Nettle, Raspberry and Mint are often used together in a pregnancy tea. Nettle soothes the digestive tract, mint aids in digestion, and raspberry leaf helps muscles to relax. Other herbs that can aid with indigestion, gas or stomach pain are: Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Fennel seed, Anise seed, Ginger, Dandelion root and Orange Peel. They are all considered safe to use during pregnancy. To make a pregnancy tea infusion: 1. Place an ounce of dried herbs in a quart jar and fill with boiling water (use nettle and raspberry leaf, and other herbs to suit your taste) 2. Cap the jar tightly, and allow to soak for at least 30 minutes (feel free to steep for several hours. You can even leave it to steep overnight) 3. Strain the tea, and keep it in the fridge. Drink a small cup of this tea two to three times a day!! Enjoy!
