Good evening!  A mother wrote to me asking about the safety of echinacea
while breastfeeding because she had read that it could be a problem.  When
I asked her where she had seen this she replied, "There was a small article
in the recent issue of Mothering magazine that said, "New studies reported
in JAMA show that they (pregnant or nursing women) should avoid echinacea,
senna, goldenseal, comfrey, and licorice."  It was on page 31 called Herb
Alert."

Has any one else seen this?  Sort of hard to imagine!
