Herbs and Homeopathy

Herbal remedies and homeopathic medicines are types of natural health products. They are typically available over the counter. If you are pregnant, talk to your health care provider before using herbs, herbal teas, supplements, or homeopathic remedies. Some products may not be safe during pregnancy, even if they are called “natural.” Your health care provider can help you choose options that are safe for you and your baby

Naturopathic Medicine is a regulated health profession in Ontario and these practitioners are resources for herbal and homeopathic advice. It is important to understand the risks and benefits when deciding to use herbal and/or homeopathic treatments while planning a pregnancy, being pregnant or chest/breastfeeding.
