This information is provided solely for education of health-care professionals, and the website is also not responsible for any utilization of this information by health-care providers. Numerous sources, as cited here, disagree about the safety of various herbs in pregnancy and lactation, so ultimately the choice to use them is always personal. Multiple other sources should be consulted before the decision is made to recommend any herb in lactation or pregnancy. Also, the demonization of herbs and the fear of them in these states far exceeds any data suggesting problems, so it is important not to go too far in recommending against them based on in vitro or animal studies, or simply practitioner fear (without research or a lack fo knowledge). Just because an adverse event occurs when is herb (or drug or any other treatment) is present doesn't mean that herb caused the adverse effect.
