FAQs
If youâre taking any prescription medications or have a health condition, chat with your healthcare provider before adding new herbs to your wellness routine. A little extra caution ensures you get all the benefitsâsafely! đâ¨
Yes, but itâs always best to check with your doctor first! While these herbs are natural wellness powerhouses, they can interact with certain medications.
Here are some key interactions to be aware of:
- đż Lavender: May enhance drowsiness when combined with sedatives or anti-anxiety meds and could lower blood pressure.
- đź Chamomile: Has mild blood-thinning properties, so it may interact with blood thinners. It can also intensify the effects of sleep aids and anti-anxiety medications.
- đ Peppermint: Can relax the esophageal sphincter, potentially worsening acid reflux if taking antacids or PPIs. It may also lower blood sugar, so diabetics should monitor levels closely.
If youâre allergic to ragweed, daisies, or marigolds, you may also react to chamomile. Always do a patch test or start with a small amount if youâre unsure.
