How Much Oregano Should Be Taken During Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Tue, 23 May 2017
Question: I am 38 weeks pregnant. I ate a spoonful of peanut butter with a bunch of oregano on it. Then I read that you're not supposed to have too much oregano during pregnancy. How much is too much? Is a spoonful of the dried spice dangerous? I think I've only had a few contractions, nothing too major.
