While traditional botanicals are safe for most healthy adults, key precautions apply:
- Infant Safety Warning:Never administer raw honey to infants under 12 months of age due to the serious risk of infant botulism.
- Gastrointestinal Sensitivity: Concentrated raw onion and garlic can trigger heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach discomfort in individuals with sensitive stomachs or IBS.
- Medication Interactions: Concentrated garlic and ginger possess mild natural antiplatelet (blood-thinning) properties. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before using herbal extracts if taking prescription blood thinners or preparing for surgery.
