Are there any restrictions on drinking eucalyptus tea — who should be more careful? — Eucalyptus leaves 50 grams - Farm Group

The product is presented as a food supplement for adults, and this is an important guideline: eucalyptus tea is not intended for children. Eucalyptus essential oils in concentrated form can cause undesirable reactions in children, so this drink is a choice for adults.

Eucalyptus tea is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women: pregnancy and breastfeeding are listed among the restrictions on the label.

People with chronic diseases of the liver, kidneys or biliary tract are also advised to discuss drinking it with a doctor: the tannins and essential oils in the leaves may affect how these organs work when taken regularly.

If you take any medicines on a regular basis, it makes sense to check with a specialist whether they can be combined — plant components sometimes interact with medicines.

If you are individually sensitive to essential oils or allergic to plants of the myrtle family (to which eucalyptus belongs), it is better to avoid it. The first time, try a small amount of the infusion to see how your body reacts.

The label recommends consulting a doctor before use. This product is not a medicine and not a substitute for medical care. It is included in the diet as a warm herbal drink, not as a means of treating or preventing any condition.
