This tea contains St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), so it deserves more attention than a basic herbal drink. St John’s wort may affect the action of certain medicines, including antidepressants, hormonal preparations and medicines that influence blood clotting. For that reason, it is not a tea to start drinking regularly without checking compatibility if you use prescription or long-term medication.
The product information also notes that St John’s wort can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. This is especially relevant if you plan prolonged sun exposure, use tanning beds, travel to a sunnier climate or already know that your skin reacts easily to sunlight. In those situations, it is sensible to be cautious rather than treating the tea as an ordinary everyday infusion.
If you take prescription medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic condition or are planning extended time in the sun, consult a doctor or pharmacist before regular use. This herbal tea is intended as a beverage within a varied diet and is not a substitute for medical treatment or a balanced diet.
