Pregnancy, Breastfeeding & Children

Avoid

Breastfeeding

Use Caution

Salicylate content means it's generally used cautiously during breastfeeding.

Children

Avoid

Salicylate-containing herbs are avoided in children and teenagers recovering from viral illness due to a theoretical Reye's syndrome risk.
