An infusion of stinging nettle suits most adults as an ordinary addition to the diet. Nevertheless, there are situations in which it is sensible to talk to a doctor or pharmacist first:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding. The effects of drinking herbal infusions regularly during these periods have not been studied sufficiently, so it is better to check with a specialist.
- Taking medicines. Some plants can interact with medicines — especially anticoagulants, diuretics or drugs that affect blood pressure. If you take anything regularly, it is worth checking compatibility.
- A tendency to herbal allergies. If you are intolerant to nettle, do not drink the infusion; if you are sensitive to other plants, it is better to make your first serving small and watch for a reaction.
- Chronic kidney disease. Herbal infusions affect the body's water balance, so if you have kidney problems it is better to agree on how much to drink with your doctor.
