        My Sister is pregnant and in her 4th month, she also has a cold and her usual herbs for colds she is nervous to take now. One of them being Pine Needle tea the other Elderberry Syrup. She has read a lot online but wasn’t sure what to believe if it was safe or not. I told her I could ask other students to see what you guys knew. I haven’t gotten to the pregnancy part of the school and she could really use help now. Thanks in advance.

          HiBethany,

          At the top of the Individual Herbs Section is a lesson/spreadsheet with herb safety for pregnancy and nursing.

          Elderberry is safe. Pine isn’t. Have a look at the Immunity Pregnant Formula

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
