When should I drink the tea?

Contraceptive teas can be a gentle way to facilitate the birth. It should only be used by pregnant women who are about to give birth or who are already further along than the usual 40th week. It is not recommended to take the tea far before the birth date so that the onset of labor does not occur prematurely. Whether drinking teas that stimulate labor pains is the right method to stimulate a birth can be individually designed and should best be discussed in advance with the midwife or doctor.

How much tea should I drink?

The amount of tea to drink depends on the spices used. For example, raspberry leaf tea should not exceed 3-4 cups. Raspberry tea in larger quantities can cause diarrhea.

For cinnamon tea, 1-2 cinnamon sticks can be poured over with hot water twice a day. After about 10 minutes the tea is ready to drink.For the other spices, it is best to consult the pharmacist or midwife, as there are different specifications for dosage and drinking quantity. In general, it is worth asking for expert advice (pharmacist or midwife) in advance, since an overdose of spices and herbs can also be associated with unpleasant side effects.
