Pregnancy Tea & Pregnancy Tea Plus


Herb Lore's Pregnancy Tea and Pregnancy Tea Plus are healthful and refreshing herbal combinations that are supportive and toning to the entire system before, during and after pregnancy. The regular Pregnancy Tea may be used throughout the entire pregnancy, and because of its high vitamin and mineral content, achieves its best results when used on a long-term, daily basis. Pregnancy Tea Plus is similar to Pregnancy Tea, with the addition of Partridge Berry, a late-pregnancy tonic which further helps to strengthen and nourish the uterus, preparing it for the upcoming work of labor and birth. Because this herb has some very slight oxytocic properties to it (meaning it has the potential to start uterine contractions, although it's not likely), it's recommended for use during the last six weeks of pregnancy only.  (The regular Pregnancy Tea may be taken throughout the entire pregnancy however.)

Reflux

In this highly informative article, find out why Reflux is commonly incorrectly diagnosed and what other issues may really be to blame.  Read about the risks of antacid medications such as Prilosec® and Prevacid®, and how taking these medications can actually GIVE you Reflux when you may not have actually had it in the first place!

The Importance of Calcium and Magnesium & How to Choose a High-Quality Supplement for You

Everyone should be taking Calcium/Magnesium supplements, especially pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as menopausal women and children. In pregnant and breastfeeding women, the body will rob from itself to provide enough of these nutrients for the growing baby. This is why many women come out of pregnancy and breastfeeding with teeth problems and thinning bones, muscle cramps and backaches.

Testimonial

I know I keep saying this, but I'm still so very thankful for all of the help the herbs have been with breastfeeding!  Two weeks ago, I packed away my pump and bottles.  I don't need them anymore!  That has never EVER happened before with my other babies!  I'm just beyond thrilled!  So thank you again!  It almost makes me want to have another baby someday, knowing I can breastfeed with ease now!  B.K.
