Hibiscus Tea Tazo
Posted on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
9 weeks pregnant. Is it okay to drink only this???
I’m so super nauseous. I’m drinking so much herbal tea. I can’t drink anything else. I wanted to know if this is okay.
My husband goes to Starbucks (and since we have a Starbucks card, we get free refills). It’s called Tazo Tea Passion, and I have it put on ice, for an iced tea.
The ingredients are as follow:
Tazo® Passion™ is blended with exotic hibiscus flowers, natural flavors of mango and passion fruit, lemongrass and tart rose hips. The result is bold and flavorful.
Ingredients: Hibiscus flowers, natural tropical flavors, citric acid, licorice root, orange peel, cinnamon bark, rosehips, lemongrass, and fruit juice extract (color).

IS THIS OKAY???
Hibiscus is bad during pregnancy as per this article: http://www.babycenter.com/0_herbal-teas-during-pregnancy_3537.bc
I’m not sure if I would trust any herbal tea that doesn’t specifically say for pregnancy, or just a regular black tea because herbs aren’t always tested for their affects on pregnancy and aren’t usually FDA approved.
