SUMMARY
Modern herbal medicine, being an alternative to drug treatment, is becoming increasingly widespread in clinical practice. Almost 80% of pregnant women in the first three months of conception, and later during pregnancy, suffer from various pathologies and syndromes. Every second woman, at the time of pregnancy, has one or another diagnosis of a chronic pathology, sometimes which poses a threat of miscarriage or termination of pregnancy, as well as a threat to the health of the mother and unborn child. Such diseases include heart rhythm disturbances, diabetes mellitus, anemia, hypertension, rheumatism, arterial hypotension, bronchial asthma, pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, diseases of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, congenital and acquired heart defects, and others. Many synthetic medications have a number of contraindications during pregnancy, but pharmacotherapy and maintaining the body of a pregnant woman with chronic pathology is necessary. Herbal medicines practically do not cause side effects and can be prescribed as independent long-term treatment or in combination with other medications. However, medications, herbs and supplements should be used with extreme caution during pregnancy as they may cause harmful effects on the mother and fetus.
Keywords: pregnancy, herbal medicine, fetus, medicinal plants, effectiveness and safety
