Question:
Can you recommend me Herbs or Homeopatic medicines for Nausea and Headache symptoms for a pregnant woman. Thanks,
Answer:
Do be VERY careful when using herbs with pregnant women. Some of them (black cohosh comes to mind, sure there are probably at least a couple others) have traditionally been used to induce abortions. I was given a book by a nurse-herbalist about 5 years ago that (much to my shock) gave actual recipes for such herbal abortions. [I put it away in a box in my basement as I thought it interesting enough not to chuck it, but a bit too far-out to keep on my shelf of other med/health care texts.] It was rather disturbing & advocated do-it-yourself at-home procedures that apparently lead to the expulsion of the fetus over the course of several *days*. In other words, check out whatever a pregnant woman wants to take before simply popping it into her mouth. There could be serious consequences, just as with any other meds.
