If you are pregnant, DO NOT USE any of the following herbs for any
reason. Many can cause early contractions, birth defects, and even
miscarriage. Make sure you check and see what herbs food and drinks
contain before ingesting them. Check with your doctor or an herbalist if
possible as well.
And now, herbs that EVERYONE should be leary of. Some can be used in
small doses. Note that if you are allergic to any herb regardless of
whether it is on this list, avoid it.
