Use Caution

This herb may affect blood sugar levels. Given the importance of stable glucose control in pregnancy, herbs in this category are generally used only under medical guidance, particularly alongside any gestational diabetes monitoring — this is a general, mechanism-based caution, not herb-specific research.
