The prevalence of herbal medicine use during pregnancy varies depending upon the geographical location and socio-cultural factors. With the belief of “being natural is safe”, use of herbs and herbal products has become popular worldwide and used more frequently including period of pregnancy. The potential unwanted effects of any substance is more important during pregnancy period, because cellular development and division of the rapidly growing fetus is vulnerable to these adverse effects. As with medicines, herbal products must at least interact with a component of the organism at the molecular level in order to exert a response. Herbal preparations most commonly used during pregnancy were teas or infusions (hot-water extracts of dried herbs) which usually have the lowest concentrations and contain the least amount of compounds. The purpose of this review is to summarize the herbs that are most commonly used as “herbal teas” during pregnancy and their potential toxic effects to highlight the importance of being cautious about their use.

This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy versus standard care on common physiological and psychological symptoms in low-risk pregnant women. Introduction:Women report common symptoms that result from anatomical and physiological changes significant for fetal development and maternal-fetal protection during pregnancy. Aromatherapy is an integrative and complementary practice of ancient origin that works through the administration of essential oils. The practice is used to promote physical and psychological well-being.Inclusion criteria: This systematic review will include studies on healthy pregnant women before labor who received aromatherapy as antenatal care for common physiological and psychological symptoms. Randomized clinical trials, quasi-experimental studies, cohort, and case-control studies will be included. This review will exclude studies that focus on women in labor unless data relating to pregnant women can be separated. Methods:The searches will be carried out on the following databases: MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, LILACS, BDENF, CUIDEN, and MOSAICO in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, with no date limit. The searches for unpublished studies will be carried out on the following repositories: ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, British Library EThOS, and the Canadian Theses and Dissertation Portal. The JBI approach will be used for study selection, critical evaluation, data extraction, and synthesis. Systematic review registration number: PROSPERO CRD42020218730
