Who should not drink field horsetail infusion without consulting a doctor? — Field Horsetail herb 40g - Lekraset

Although field horsetail is a plant product with a long history of use, it affects water metabolism, and in some cases this calls for a careful approach.

You should consult a specialist, and in some cases give up the infusion, if:

• You have kidney disease — the herb affects water balance, so the infusion is not used in severe kidney disease.
• You are taking diuretics — using them together may enhance their effect; horsetail is not combined with strong diuretics.
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding — the horsetail infusion is not used during these periods.

In addition, field horsetail is not recommended for use for longer than 2–4 weeks. If your well-being changes while you are drinking the infusion, stop using it and consult a specialist. The infusion is not used in case of hypersensitivity to horsetail.

The product is not a medicine and is not intended to treat or prevent disease.
