Cautions & Side Effects

• Allergic Reactions: Chamomile belongs to the Asteraceae/Compositae daisy family. People allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, or marigolds may experience severe allergic reactions. 
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Chamomile tea in normal dietary quantities is usually considered safe. However, in concentrated forms or very high amounts, it may stimulate uterine contractions. Consult an OB-GYN before use. 
• Blood-Thinning Medications: Chamomile contains natural coumarins. Concurrent use with blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding. 
• Sedatives & Anesthesia: Because chamomile naturally depresses the central nervous system, consuming it with prescription sedatives (e.g., benzodiazepines) or alcohol can cause excessive drowsiness. 
• Hormonal Influence: Chamomile may act like estrogen in the body. Those with hormone-sensitive conditions (such as breast or uterine cancer) should exercise caution and seek advice.
