Investigating Pregnant Women's Attitudes toward Herbal Remedies: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Background: Herbal remedies play a significant role in daily life, regardless of region or ethnicity. While they offer various health benefits, they may also pose risks, including toxicity and undesirable side effects. Pregnant women, one of the most vulnerable populations, frequently use herbal remedies, often without informing their healthcare providers, which can lead to unforeseen consequences for both the mother and the fetus.
Method: A total of 590 women participated in an online survey designed to assess demographic factors, awareness of herbal remedies during pregnancy, and the potential impact of these remedies on maternal and fetal health.
Results: The survey revealed that 35.8% of the participants used herbal remedies during pregnancy. The most common reasons for their use were beliefs in their safety and family recommendations. Anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) was the most frequently used herb.
Conclusions: The findings indicate that pregnant women generally have limited knowledge about herbal remedies and their potential risks. To mitigate this, it is essential to develop and disseminate comprehensive safety and efficacy guidelines. Both physicians and pregnant women should be well-informed to ensure the protection of maternal and fetal health.
