Aveda Tea

KAROTHE

Does anyone know if it's OK to drink Aveda tea while pregnant?  I've heard you shouldn't drink some herbal teas.  This one has only 4 ingredients: licorice root, peppermint, fennel and basil.

I am a huge tea drinker, and licorice tea is one of my favorites. I have researched what teas are safe to drink when pregnant, and unfortunately licorice is on the unsafe list, as it can cause miscarriage.   I am sticking to pure ginger, mint or fruit teas that are herbal and have no "tea" in them. Black and white tea have caffeine, and green tea is a no-no while pregnant too. Search around the web. You'll find sites with similar information, some with conflicting. But basically, ginger, mint and fruit were safe on everyone's list. Good luck!

Licorice root is actually not a good during pregnancy, it can increase your blood pressure, although the other ingredients are okay I believe.
