Is peppermint tea ok?

[AliSxo]

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and just wanted to check if peppermint tea is ok to drink? I had a cup without checking and now the internet is scaring me! Thanks in advance xx

I drank it thought out my pregnancy - which probably explains why my toddler has verbal diahorrea.

More seriously it does no harm.unkess you intend to drink it by the bucket load.

Yep, peppermint tea is totally fine. You're not supposed to take peppermint supplements/oil as it's so concentrated but there's such minimal amounts in tea it's no problem. My midwife even recommended it to me for bloating/trapped wind.

Also, whilst you're researching herbs, it's only clary sage (used mostly in herbal remedies) that's advised again; culinary sage is also totally fine, as are all culinary herbs.

*advised against (not again!)

Yeh it’s fine, I’ve found it great for nausea.

Thanks everyone much appreciated xx

I'm a big peppermint tea drinker too! I've been told that it's absolutely fine, but ideally I shouldn't consistently drink more than 4 cups a day (which I was doing before I got pregnant).

It's fine, can help nausea apparently, though it had the opposite effect on me as I can't bear the smell.

Just steer clear of raspberry leaf tea until very late in pregnancy as it's sometimes used to try to trigger labour.

My midwife said absolutely fine, 4 cups a day. I actually had more but had weak strength ones. Worked wonders for my indigestion, wind and nausea (sorry tmi )
