How to Use:
Use a glass or ceramic pot or jug, and avoid metal implements when making herbal teas. Place about a table-spoon of herbs in your pot or jug, pour on hot water, and allow to steep for about 10 minutes. You can drink the tea hot, warm or cool, and add a twist of lemon or lime, or some active Manuka honey if desired. Sip gradually throughout the day. Store your herbs out of direct sunlight to preserve potency, colour and flavour.

Here is a link to a helpful article about eating when you have pregnancy sickness or HG
And this article explains that you need plenty of magnesium on board to manage pregnancy sickness. Dandelion and Nettle are very rich in Magnesium and are included in my Pregnancy Bliss tea. Dark green leafy vegetables are rich in Magnesium, and that is what Dandelion and Nettle really are - they grow as weeds in some places (I saw lots of Nettle in Ireland and my little Irish Midwife told me every woman needed nettle tea in her diet) and they both have a very dark green leaf.
