Topical Application

[Alissa KrajewskiStudent]

Is the topical application of herbs like hops, calendula, comfrey and others listed as unsafe during pregnancy/breastfeeding also to be avoided?

Thinking of making some salves and linamints/tinctures.

The topical use of herbs eliminates virtually all the risks to pregnancy or nursing bambinos. Topical use also eliminates issues that might occur with internal pharmaceuticals. :0)

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

Thank you so much! I was thinking it might be okay. I’m so excited to try.
