Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Dear list, could anyone please advise if the following herbs can be used during pregnancy. Ashwaganda Piscidia erythrina and Lactuca virosa I have a customer who is pregnant and tells me she has had this formula in the past and would like to have it again since she sleeps very well when taking it. I would be grateful for any advise Best regards, Iria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hello, I'm just reading about Ashwaganda in my Adaptogens book and it says that it's been tradtitionally used in India during pregnancy, but in one particular region of India and some parts of Africa was thought to cause miscarriage.It therefore advises to avoid it during pregnancy. Bartram lists Piscidia as contraindicated in pregnancy, but not Lactuca.
