Are there any contraindications or restrictions for woolly erva tea? — Erva villane herb, 25 g – Lekraset

Woolly erva is a herb, not a neutral food product. Reactions to it may vary from person to person, especially the first time. So it is sensible to start with a small amount and monitor how you feel during the first few days.

It is worth consulting a specialist before use in the following cases:

• Tendency to allergies: plant material can cause individual reactions, especially in people who are highly sensitive to herbs or pollen.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: during these periods any herbal products should be agreed with a doctor, as their effect on the foetus and the baby has not been studied sufficiently.
• Taking medicines: some plant constituents can interact with medicines, affecting their absorption or action.

It is also not recommended to give children herbal teas made from non-standard plant material without consulting a paediatrician.

This product is not a medicine and is not intended to treat, prevent or diagnose any diseases. If you have a chronic kidney, liver or urinary tract condition, discuss whether you can drink this herbal tea with your doctor before you start.
