The balm contains cedar resin — the resinous sap of a conifer tree. Resins and conifer components are among the substances that can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people. If you have previously reacted to conifers, products made from them or resins, it is best to avoid this balm or consult a doctor beforehand.
When trying the product for the first time, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and watch how your body reacts before making it part of your regular diet. The balm is not consumed in case of individual intolerance to its components, and if an allergic reaction occurs, stop using it and see a doctor.
People with chronic diseases of the digestive tract, liver or biliary tract should take particular care: concentrated plant oils and resinous substances may be undesirable in a number of conditions. In such cases, a specialist's advice is needed before use. The same applies to pregnant and breastfeeding women and to people taking medicines.
