Are there situations where I should check with a professional before using this regularly? — May rosehip, whole fruits 75 g – Lekraset

Rosehip fruit is a food-grade botanical with a long history of culinary use, but certain situations call for professional guidance. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your midwife or doctor before making it a daily habit — while occasional cups are generally considered unproblematic, concentrated daily decoctions have not been studied in these groups. The same applies if you plan to give the infusion to a child under 12; a paediatrician can advise on appropriate strength and frequency. If you have a known allergy or sensitivity to plants in the Rosaceae family (strawberries, apples, almonds, etc.), test with a very small amount first or avoid altogether. For anyone on regular medication or managing a chronic condition, a brief check with your pharmacist or GP is sensible before adding any daily herbal preparation, simply to rule out unexpected interactions. Finally, remember this product is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet or prescribed treatment.
