Safety guides · 6 questions
Is it safe with…?
The questions people ask before buying, answered without selling. When the evidence is thin, we say so, and the doctor always comes first.
Herbal tea and metformin: what to check first
Usually yes, with your doctor's knowledge, because some herbs may add to the glucose-lowering effect of your medicine.
Herbal tea and statins
For most people, yes. These are common food spices, but tell your doctor and keep your usual lipid tests.
Herbal tea in pregnancy and while breastfeeding
Please ask your doctor first. We do not recommend our blends during pregnancy without that conversation.
Herbal tea and thyroid medication
Yes, but leave a gap. Take levothyroxine on an empty stomach and have your tea at least an hour later.
Herbal tea for children
Our blends are made for adults. For children, a weak cup of plain fennel or mint water is the gentler choice, and ask your paediatrician.
Herbal tea before surgery or a procedure
Tell your surgical team what you drink, and stop the blend two weeks before if they ask. Ginger and fenugreek are the usual reasons.
