Who should be more careful with birch buds?

LEKRASET Kasepungad is a food-grade plant raw material that is not intended to treat or prevent any disease. Nevertheless, like any herbal product with a pronounced phytochemical composition (essential oils, resins, flavonoids), it does not suit everyone equally.

Take care or consult a specialist first if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding — birch buds are not recommended during these periods.
• You are sensitive to birch pollen or related plants — a cross-reaction to components of the buds is possible.
• You take medicines in long courses — some plant compounds can affect the absorption of medicines.
• You have chronic kidney or urinary tract conditions — with such conditions, it is better to discuss any herbal infusions with a doctor.

If you are trying birch buds for the first time, it is sensible to start with a small amount and observe your body's reaction for a few days before including the infusion in your regular diet. Birch buds are not used in case of individual intolerance to their components.
