Enhanced precautions for this plant: Traditional use is very poorly documented in the available ethnobotanical literature: particular caution is required. Avoid all internal use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, due to traditional uses related to postpartum care that suggest possible effects on the female reproductive system. Do not give to children without advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Consult an herbalist or physician before any use, in the absence of sufficient data on dosages and possible interactions.
