Who should be more careful with chamomile tea? — CHAMOMILE HERBAL TEA 40G - Emeljanovskaja Biofabrika ( romashka )(ромашка)

Despite the familiar format of ordinary tea, chamomile is an active plant material and it's sensible to treat it with care. The label states: do not use with hypersensitivity to the components, and if an allergic reaction appears, stop use and see a doctor. In addition, it's sensible to discuss drinking it with a specialist beforehand in several cases:

• A tendency to allergy to plants of the daisy family (Asteraceae) — chamomile belongs to them too, so cross-reactions are possible.
• Pregnancy and the breastfeeding period — during this time it's better to coordinate the choice of any herbs with a doctor.
• Choosing herbal drinks for a child — whether such a tea suits and in what concentration is also worth discussing with a specialist.

A general rule for all herbal teas: if you take medication or have chronic conditions, it makes sense to consult a doctor, since plant components can combine with therapy in different ways. This tea is a herbal drink for the everyday diet; it is not a medicine and does not replace a balanced diet.
