Hello,
I came across an article from your website that was very informative about Red Raspberry leaf. I was curious what your advise is about an herbal supplement that has Red raspberry leaf, red clover blossoms,
nettles leaf and yellow dock root. I've read that pregnant women should not take yellow dock root?
In your opinion is this a safe blend for a pregnant women to be taking daily?
Thank you for your time...
Hi,
The herbs that you listed are wonderful for pregnancy - would use the red clover, nettle and red raspberry leaf-, but in the form of infusions as opposed to a pill. If you are unfamiliar with infusions, I've included a link for you:
As for yellow dock, Susun recommends its use during pregnancy if you are suffering from low iron. I have a tendency towards anemia, always have and I used it during my pregnancy with no ill effects. Usually it is made into a syrup or decoction.
Susun's book Herbal for the Childbearing Year goes into greater detail and you can find some articles at our website: http://www.childbearing-year.com/
Just let us know if you need any further assistance.
many thanks,
