🌿What is the incident rate?

🌿And is it increasing?

🌿How can we properly assess for ties?

🌿What post-frenectomy care strategies are helpful?

Do your patients ask you about herbal safety during lactation? We get these questions all the time, which is why we developed both the Herbal Database: Lactation and Postpartum Care, and the Herbal Handbook for Perinatal and Pediatric Wellness. Two different ways to find many of the answers to your patients' questions about herbs!
