Full profile
  • Pre-surgery — discontinue at least 2 weeks prior (potential antiplatelet effect)

Pregnancy

Use Caution

Culinary seasoning amounts are fine, but medicinal doses (concentrated extracts, essential oil taken internally) are traditionally avoided in pregnancy due to a reputation for stimulating menstrual flow and uterine contractions.

Breastfeeding

Likely Safe

Normal culinary use is considered compatible with breastfeeding; avoid concentrated medicinal doses.

Children

Likely Safe

Culinary amounts are fine for children; essential oil should always be diluted and never given internally to young children.

May thin the blood

Watch for: Anticoagulants (warfarin), antiplatelets (aspirin, clopidogrel), and other blood-thinning herbs or supplements (ginkgo, garlic, fish oil, vitamin E)

Combining blood-thinning substances can increase bleeding risk, including before surgery or dental work.
