Leaves for healing, shared with reverence

Educational only. Not medical advice.

Herbs and supplements can interact with prescriptions and health conditions. The information here is for inspiration and education — not for diagnosing, treating, or replacing clinical care. Bring any herb you are considering to your clinician or pharmacist, especially if you take prescription medications.

Take extra care if you:

• •Are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant — many herbs have not been studied in these populations
• •Take blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, sedatives, or immune-related medication — these drug classes have known interactions with common herbs
• •Live with a chronic condition, autoimmune illness, or kidney or liver concerns
• •Have known plant allergies or sensitivities — botanical families can cross-react
• •Are supporting a child or elderly adult, or someone on multiple prescriptions

Herbs can be wonderful allies when used with wisdom. A little conversation with your care team goes a long way.
