“…Unser nicht repräsentatives Ergebnis mit dem Gebrauch mindestens eines Naturheilmittels von 684% der Schwangeren und Stillenden liegt nochmals deutlich hö-her und könnte durch die weite Definition des Begriffes «Naturheilmittel» bedingt sein, der auch Teedrogen einschloss, die bewusst oder unbewusst oft nicht als «Medi-zin» angesehen werden [11], was mit der eingangs erwähnten Assoziation von Naturheilmitteln mit «sanfter Medizin» zusammenhängen könnte. Ebenso ist ein Bias durch die Beschränkung der Befragung auf 3 Einrichtungen im innerstädtischen Bereich denkbar.…”

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.

“…The authors finally asserted the need for more accurate knowledge about the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines in pregnancy (Holst, Wright, Haavik, & Nordeng, 2009). In addition, while patients generally take herbal supplements in combination with conventional drugs (Liu et al, 1997;Abebe, 2002), some researchers discuss that herbal medicines should be cautiously administered to prevent any possible adverse drug-herb interactions or complications such as bleeding (Hepner, 2002).…”
