I took evening primrose oil, raspberry leaf tea, black and blue cohosh, bouncing on the exercise ball, walking, spicy food...<br /> If I'd been told about that tea, I probably would have chugged it, too. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/labor-tea#post-1381855 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:12:53 +0000 lil owl 1381855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 40+3 and my midwife told me today to try a „labor tea“ to cause contractions. Has anyone ever tried this?<br /> She said I shouldn't take castor oil because it's bad for the baby. I should try the tea first...</p> <p>“labor tea”<br /> take 1 cinnamon stick, 10 cloves, 1 small ginger root, 1 tablespoon vervain<br /> infuse with 4 ¼ cups of boiling water and drink during the day. </p>
