Objective: To gather studies on the effects of the use of medicinal plants during the gestational period, as a way of evidencing the effects caused by consumption. Methodology: The articles were searched in the electronic databases PubMed and Sciello. The articles published in the period 2007 to 2017 were included, using the descriptors: "tea", "medicinal plants", "phytotherapy" and "gestation" or "pregnancy", in Portuguese and English. Results: In the search of articles, 819 results were obtained, of which 39 articles were selected, according to the defined inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Information on the safe use of herbal products during pregnancy is still poorly understood, and further studies of plant species that may pose some risk during pregnancy are needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
