Is chamomile safe?

The pollen found in chamomile preparations could cause allergic reactions. If you are allergic to ragweed pollen, you may not be able to use chamomile. Chamomile may interfere with blood thinners (anticoagulants). Always inform your doctors if you are using any dietary supplement or if you are thinking about combining a dietary supplement with your conventional medical treatment.

Disclaimer: Talk to your doctor first if you’re pregnant. Some OB’s don’t want you to drink chamomile tea when you’re pregnant, while others don’t have a problem with it. The issue related to pregnancy is the anti-inflammatory effects.
