Who should consult a doctor before taking this blend?

Despite its plant-based composition, the LEKRASET liver tea blend is not a neutral drink. Each ingredient has its own properties, and their combination may matter for people with certain health conditions.

It is worth consulting a specialist before taking it in the following cases:

• Chronic conditions — especially those affecting the liver, gallbladder, stomach or intestines. Some herbs in the blend (for example, yarrow and hare's ear) have an active effect on the biliary system, which calls for caution with certain diagnoses.
• A sensitive stomach or a tendency to heartburn — liquorice and rosehip contain acids and active substances that may increase discomfort.
• An allergy or reactions to plants — calendula belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae), which also includes ragweed and chamomile. If you react to these plants, bear this in mind.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — a number of herbs in the blend are not recommended during these periods without a doctor's approval.
• Taking medication — some plants may affect the absorption or action of medicines.

If any unpleasant sensations appear after you start taking it — abdominal discomfort, heartburn, allergic reactions — stop taking it and see a specialist.
