Pharmacist's advice

Store herbs in a tightly closed pack in a dry, dark place and use them before the expiry date. If you drink herbal tea every day for several weeks, take breaks and alternate herbs.

If you take medicines for a chronic condition, ask a pharmacist before regularly drinking St John's wort, mistletoe or hawthorn tea.
