Cautions and Contraindications
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Medicinal doses or concentrated essential oils should be avoided due to potential uterine stimulation and insufficient safety data.
Liver and Gallbladder Disease: Avoid if you have bile duct obstructions, gallstones, or active liver disease, as caraway can inhibit or complicate gallbladder emptying.
Diabetes Medications: May lower blood sugar; concurrent use with glucose-lowering drugs can risk hypoglycemia.
Allergies and Potency: Concentrated essential oils can cause skin rashes or mucosal irritation if un-diluted. Stick to standard culinary amounts unless guided by a professional.
