        On the list provided for herbs in pregnancy and lactation, it says that some herbs are safe, but when I looked those herbs up in the herb shop, it says they are not. So now I am confused…. :/

          Yes. You’re right.

          The pregnancy safety project (first lesson in the Individual Plants section) is fairly recent and was deeply and carefully done. My views on some of the plants has changed as a result and I’ll be going back through all the lessons to update the slides.

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