Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hello Erin- > it said not to be used when pregnant or nursing. Why does it > >say that, and then why would it be in a tincture for a new >mom? It is well indicated...see below...I would be interested in knowing what reference listed yarrow as contraindicated for nursing? > Because not all new moms nurse their babies. > well they should!!!!!! my not so humble opinion- i am a " militant lactivist! " I also think that anyone preparing a postpartum herbal formula would assume the mother was nursing- its the holistic way! I actually think that it is incorrect that yarrow should not be used while nursing-it is just fine and I have used it myself- for reasons other than after pains. It would be indicated in an after pain formula as it is anti inflammatory, hemostatic and aids in contracting the uterus to its pre pregnant state- that formula sounds good...putting it in chamomile tea will make it even better- I do " shot-glass sized " doses of anything with motherwort- she is very bitter! michelle > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting me know. I've never used motherwort so now I'll know to slam it when I do have to drink it. -- <>< Erin HomeSchooling my Trio; 6 yo Entertainer, 5 yo Warrior, 3 yo Comedian Countdown to Sprout's Arrival: 4 weeks!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Doc or anyone who can help; I read that yarrow can interfere with the absorption of iron. I can't find this in any of the research I have done. Can any of you help me with this? Wouldn't you have to take it in rather large amounts to have this happen? I would think so any way. Also, can yarrow be used as a tonic? Any help in this matter would be great. Thanks so much. Many Blessings Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I didn't find any data concerning iron absorption. And yes, it can be used as tonic for many conditions. Asthma, kidney stone, gall blader stone, digestion, stomach problems, etc. Very good sun screen oil is made from yarros leaves.pearlmoon wrote: Doc or anyone who can help; I read that yarrow can interfere with the absorption of iron.
