Bisher gibt es kaum systematisch erhobene Daten über den Gebrauch von Naturheilmitteln während Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit. Ziel dieser Pilotstudie an einem nicht repräsentativen Kollektiv von 139 Frauen, die von Mitte 1997 bis zum 2. Quartal 1998 zur Entbindung in drei geburtshilfliche Einrichtungen kamen, war es, Daten zu den Fragen nach der Häufigkeit und dem Spektrum der angewandten Naturheilmittel während Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit zu erheben. Während der Schwangerschaft nahmen mindestens 96% und in der Stillperiode 84% der Frauen mindestens 1 Naturheilmittel ein, wobei jeweils Phytotherapeutika am häufigsten benutzt wurden. Im Gegensatz zum weit verbreiteten Gebrauch von Naturheilmitteln bei Schwangeren und Stillenden in dieser Studie, und ihren Fragen dazu, existieren wenige nachvollziehbare Daten zur Wirksamkeit und zu einem eventuellen Risiko. Während der Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit benutzte Naturheilmittel sollten dahingehend gesichtet und beurteilt werden.

Topical corticosteroids and topical calcipotriene as well as topical anthralin and topical tacrolimus appear to be safe choices for control of localized psoriasis in pregnancy. UVB is the safest treatment for extensive psoriasis during pregnancy, particularly when topical application of other agents is not practical. Short-term use of cyclosporine during pregnancy is probably the safest option for management of severe psoriasis that has not responded to topical or UVB treatment.

“…In a national survey conducted in the United States, CAM use has increased substantially between 1990 and 1997 with an estimated worth of $27 billion (Eisenberg et al, 1998). Within this time period herbal medicine or phytomedicine use increased by 380% with US sales in 1997 reaching $3.24 billion (Petrie and Peck, 2000).…”

“…Seventy-four percent of these physicians were unsure about the safety of herbal products in pregnancy . Although Medline citations using the heading ''alternative medicine'' are growing at twice the annual rate of the overall medical literature (Petrie and Peck, 2000), few of these articles are controlled studies and even fewer address the gestational use of these medicinals. The lack of evidence-base information makes assessing the safety/risk of herbal medicine in pregnancy challenging.…”
