Chamomile is a gentle herb with few side effects, but there are a few considerations:
- • When taken early in pregnancy, herbal teas can cause uterine contractions which could cause miscarriage. For this reason, pregnant women should speak to their obstetrician before using them.
- • Don’t take chamomile if you’re allergic to plans in the daisy family.
- • Chamomile contains the blood thinning compound coumarin, so it should not be taken with warfarin or other similar blood-thinning medications.
- • Avoid chamomile for two weeks before and after surgery. *
