Herbs & Pregnancy

Salutations to the natural world. Pregnancy, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of spiritual experience. It helps us comprehend our past, present, and future selves better. It requires us to take the best possible care of ourselves. Due to our agreement, a new being will enter the physical world. Even while the calling is challenging, the journey is radically transformative. Let this list of typical herbs used during pregnancy inspire you to do what is best for both you and your unborn child.
