Herb teas are a good way to hydrate and nourish your body
When preparing for pregnancy herb teas such as Raspberry leaf and nettle tea can be a valuable source of vitamins , minerals and other nutrients
that can help to ensure your fertility and a healthy pregnancy and baby
Some of the teas I found useful when I was pregnant were nettle, raspberry leaf, and oat straw teas
vitamin and mineral supplements are unnecessary if you are eating a nutrient rich diet and using herbs daily
Your body is best able to utilize the nutrients found in fresh foods and herbs rather than in a factory made tablet
Fresh food and herbs from your garden contain the vital energy of a live plant that a supplement cannot duplicate
