Side Effects of Calendula Tea
While calendula tea is commonly used for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, it may cause side effects in some individuals. Possible side effects include:
Allergic reactions: People allergic to plants in the Asteraceae/Compositae family (such as ragweed, daisies, marigolds, or chrysanthemums) may experience skin rashes, itching, or swelling.
Gastrointestinal issues: Some users may experience mild stomach upset, nausea, or vomiting after drinking calendula tea.
Photosensitivity: Calendula may increase sensitivity to sunlight, leading to a higher risk of sunburn.
Interactions with medications: Calendula can interact with blood-thinning medications, sedatives, or drugs processed by the liver, potentially altering their effects.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding caution: Due to limited safety data, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before consuming calendula tea.
If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
