Basically, homeopathic medicines are harmless, just as placebos are harmless - unless you believe they will harm you. No flame intended.

Subject: Calms Forte while breastfeeding?
I have a client asking me if Calms Forte (by Hylands) is safe while breastfeeding. I have searched high and low with no avail. The active ingredients are
Passiflora 1X | Triple Strength HPUS
Avena Sativa 1X | Double Strength HPUS
Humulus Lupulus 1X | Double Strength HPUS
Chamomilla 2X | HPUS
As far as I've seen, the last 3 ingredients are safe, but I've been seeing mixed reviews on passiflora (best I can find is that it causes uterine contractions).
If anyone else has any helpful info I'd appreciate it!! Thanks!
