Are there any herbal formulas that pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid?

Herbs are a very safe way to support a healthy pregnancy when used properly and with common sense. Strong lymphatic pullers are not recommended in pregnancy.

Focus instead on using fruits, berries, and melons as cleansers! If you are unsure or uncomfortable with an herb or herbal formula, consult a knowledgeable midwife or herbalist, or consider your body’s innate wisdom and muscle test!

When breastfeeding, you want to avoid Black Walnut Hull, as this can reduce or stop milk production. (Found in the Fungal Balance & Parasites formulas). Fenugreek can increase milk production if needed.
