Most herbal preparations such as teas are made from plants.
Plants are not all the same and different leaves or root pieces
from the same plant can have very different levels of the active
compound.
There is little quality control on these preparations
and contamination with other plants, insecticides or other substances
can occur (
Howard, 1999
).
Herbal teas considered safe during lactation include Chicory,
Orange spice, Peppermint, Rasberry, Red bush tea and Rose hips
(
Lawrence, 2011
p365, 381-390, 904-909).
