Herbal teas are loved for being gentle, natural, and caffeine-free — but did you know some herbs can interact with medicines? It’s worth being informed so your wellness routine stays truly supportive.
For instance, chamomile, while calming, may interact with blood thinners. Peppermint, known for soothing digestion, can sometimes affect absorption of certain medications. Even valerian root, famous for aiding sleep, should be used with caution if you’re already on sedatives.
The takeaway isn’t to avoid herbs altogether — they remain wonderful allies. It’s about moderation, timing, and transparency. If you’re on regular medication, have a quick word with your doctor about your tea habits.
At Tea Trunk, we keep our blends transparent and simple, with no hidden additives. Wellness is most powerful when it’s both mindful and informed — and that includes your teacup.
