Is feverfew safe while pregnant
Hot Mamas, beware! In researching the safety of Botox and pregnancy (not recommended), I have come across many sites (and doctors) that are recommending the use of feverfew as a safe alternative for the prevention of migraines. This is false information! I have done extensive research on the safety and effectiveness of herbs because I frequently use them in my practice as a Nutritionist. Feverfew is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. Feverfew can cause uterine contractions which increase one's risk for miscarriage or early labor. The safety of feverfew for breastfeeding women is unknown so it is best avoided.
