I'm pregnant 24 weeks, is it safe to drink peppermint tea? if yes what is the safe daily proportion of it? thanks

as far as we know: For obvious reasons no one does research giving drugs or herbs to pregnant women to study adverse effects, but peppermint tea has a long history of use by pregnant women and appears safe. There is no evidence it is harmful. See http://www.Drweil.Com/drw/u/qaa366713/is-peppermint-safe-during-pregnancy.Html - the expert consulted says it is safe to have 3 cups a day but more may be ok too...

Tea vs extract: It is recommended that one not exceed 2 cups per day. REF: http://www.newkidscenter.com/Peppermint-Tea-Pregnancy.html. "Medline Plus recommends avoiding any form of peppermint oil if you are pregnant."
