# Can I drink a Wellness Shot with ginger & lemon if I'm pregnant? We recommend skipping the Wellness Shot if you’re pregnant as oregano oil is not recommended for use during pregnancy. While there is no research done on pregnant women and consumption of the oil, there is concern that oregano oil may cause uterine contractions. Always exercise caution while consuming herbs during pregnancy and consult with your physician regarding your individual health needs. Please note that dried or fresh oregano is absolutely safe in cooking during pregnancy, as it’s less concentrated! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
