My favorite tea (Yogi Egyptian Licorice) says not to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?!?
I just bought a packet of my favorite tea (Yogi Egyptian Liquorice) and it says not to use while pregnant or breastfeeding, and I do not know why. The ingredients are: Licorice Root cinnamon bark Orange Peel ginger, Cardamom Seed Black Pepper Clove Bud It also says "natural tangerine flavor and cinnamon oil" Everyone knows why I should not drink it?
Well I know with licorice root and ginger and cardamom, allegedly the dialates cervix, but as for breastfeeding, I really do not know why? sorry:) But I will tell you something, and shame me lol, I drink chai tea A LOT and I breas teeding my 11-mon-old daughter and I drank it while pregnant with her too — and years ago, before perceiving herself, and there were no adverse effects and chai tea, the cardamom and ginger, cinnamon and cloves in it.

we ruin the wild animals in what u think?
I browse through all these questions about animals and I wonder how did dogs survive in the wild? Where did all this knowledge why we allow the shops sucker us to buy clothes? Who is house pets? Are small tea-cups/miniatures anthropogenic-Is that why they can not defend their natural purpose as to be able to survive in the cold weather? I had this discussion with my girlfriend and it made sense to me, he thinks I am baby my poms too much. But I still understand his point of how did they do it w / o human input?
Domestication of animals is a symbiotic relationship. We, the people provide animals with basic needs. Those animals, supply us with contact / protection / etc Years of breeding for specific genetic mutations (read election attributes) has given us breeds who can barely survive outside of human caring. There are many feral packs roaming the world that prove that they can easily adapt to life without people, but our efforts to develop "pet" has given us a greater responsibility for the lives of animals, we want to share with our.
