Sign in and complete your health profile to see safety warnings personalized to your age, sex, medications, conditions, and allergies for this herb.
Start with a small amount to check for any sensitivity. Not all herbs are suitable for tea preparation — some require alcohol extraction (tincture) for full potency.
Drink fresh or refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Dried herbs should be stored in airtight containers away from light.
Tinctures are concentrated — follow dosing guidelines carefully. Not suitable for those avoiding alcohol (use glycerites instead). Some herbs are only safe as tinctures in very small doses.
Alcohol tinctures last 3-5 years or more when stored properly in dark glass away from heat and light.
NEVER apply undiluted essential oils to skin (except Lavender/Tea Tree in small amounts). NEVER ingest essential oils without professional guidance. Keep away from eyes, inner ears, and mucous membranes. Some oils are toxic to pets (especially cats). NEVER use near the face of infants/toddlers.
Store in dark glass bottles away from heat and light. Most oils last 1-3 years. Citrus oils oxidize faster (6-12 months).
