Pregnancy

Likely Safe

One of the best-studied herbs for pregnancy — widely used and generally recommended in typical culinary/tea doses (up to ~1g/day) for morning sickness. Very high doses are usually advised against in the final weeks due to a theoretical mild antiplatelet effect.

Breastfeeding

Likely Safe

Commonly used in normal culinary amounts; no significant concerns documented in typical use.

Children

Likely Safe

Widely used in diluted tea or crystallized form for children's nausea and stomach upset; well tolerated in age-appropriate amounts.

Blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin)

Mild antiplatelet activity may add to bleeding risk at high doses.

Diabetes medications

May have an additive blood-sugar-lowering effect.
