Many women, being in a state of pregnancy, without hesitation, begin to take medicinal plants, considering them completely harmless to the body. Having read unreliable information on the pages of the global network - the Internet, having heard from acquaintances about medicinal properties, tincture of yarrow, sage and many other plants becomes the only panacea for pregnant women. I would like to warn you immediately, the use of this or that drug, even if it is based on a "harmless", in your opinion, herb, must be prescribed by a gynecologist who observes you.

Yarrow: application during pregnancy

A few decades ago, girls in an interesting situation, used tincture of yarrow, as a means to terminate pregnancy. With the passage of time, this statement was completely refuted, but this does not make this plant completely harmless. Yarrow, the use of which occurs during pregnancy, promotes the increase of estrogens - hormones produced in the follicular apparatus located in the ovaries. To what it can lead, you ask? To the most sad consequences: either to the delivery in the early stages, when the fetus is not yet fully formed, and, therefore, is not viable, or to the pathologies of the child. If you are not an enemy of your own health and your future child, consult your doctor before applying any of the medications.
