🌿✨ A gentle but important herbal reminder ✨🌿
Just because something is natural doesn’t automatically mean it’s safe for everyone! This is especially true when medications are involved.
Herbs are powerful plant medicines that have been used for centuries to support healing, balance, and wellness. But many herbs can interact with prescription medications, over the counter meds, and even supplements in ways that can reduce effectiveness or cause unwanted side effects. Some can potentially be dangerous.
For example (just a few of many):
🌱 Some herbs can thin the blood
🌱 Others can affect blood pressure or heart rate
🌱 Some can interfere with antidepressants, hormones, or pain medications
This doesn’t mean herbs are bad, it means they should be used mindfully and with proper knowledge.
✨ Always research your herbs
✨ Consult a healthcare provider, pharmacist, or qualified herbalist if you’re on medication
✨ Listen to your body
✨ Start slow and intentional
☕️ Also, please remember to check all of the ingredients in herbal teas you purchase or even make yourself. Many blends contain multiple herbs, and not every ingredient may be safe for every person or every medication.
Holistic wellness is about working with the body safely, not guessing.
Nature offers beautiful medicine and with that comes responsibility.
Stay informed. Stay empowered. Stay well 🌿
