Safe Tea Options During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, it’s important to choose teas that support your wellbeing without introducing unnecessary risks. While many herbal and traditional teas are safe, some should be avoided — so here are the blends you can confidently enjoy during pregnancy

According to BabyCenter, many teas are pregnancy‑safe and even beneficial, but it’s important to watch caffeine intake and avoid certain herbs that may not be suitable during pregnancy.

So let’s explore the teas that are considered safe — and how you can enjoy them through SantDas’ curated wellness collection.
