Elecampane root decoction is not used during pregnancy and breastfeeding — this is stated directly in the product information. Elecampane contains essential oils, saponins and bitter substances with a pronounced biological profile, which is why it is avoided during these periods.
If you are highly sensitive to herbs, prone to allergic reactions or individually intolerant to plants of the daisy family (Asteraceae), to which elecampane belongs, you should consult a specialist before use. The same applies to people with chronic gastrointestinal conditions: the bitter substances and saponins it contains may increase secretion and irritate the mucous membrane in some conditions.
Children should be given elecampane root decoction only after consulting a paediatrician — rich plant material with a bitter profile is not intended for children's diets without a doctor's recommendation.
It is important to remember that LEKRASET Aedvaagijuured is a herbal product, not a medicine. It does not replace medical care and is not intended to treat or prevent disease. It is advisable to consult a doctor before use — especially if you take any medicines or have a chronic condition.
