Who should consult a specialist before starting to drink rosehip root infusion? — Rosehip root 50g LekraSET (Rōsa)

Rosehip root contains tannins and organic acids, which may interact with certain medicines or affect how you feel if you have certain health conditions. A specialist's advice is therefore recommended in the following cases:

• Chronic conditions — especially those related to the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys or cardiovascular system.
• Taking medication — plant components can affect the absorption or action of certain drugs.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — the product is contraindicated during these periods.
• A planned long course — if you intend to drink the infusion regularly for several weeks or longer.

For a healthy adult who wants to add a herbal drink to their everyday diet as a seasonal addition, rosehip root is a familiar plant material with a long history of use. Nevertheless, the manufacturer recommends that everyone consult a doctor before use, and it limits the course to 1 month.
