Herbs - Chamomile - Contraindications / Precautions / Warnings

Do not use the oil during pregnancy as it is a uterine stimulant.

Chamomile can have a sedating effect on the body and can cause drowsiness. Do not use while driving, operating heavy/precision machinery, or performing any other activity requiring a high, acute, level of awareness.

Chamomile causes contact dermatitis in some people, especially when fresh and frequently handled. Compositae in general are allergenic to some people. This includes other common herbs such as dandelion and echinacea.

Long term use may result in ragweed allergy. Do not use at all if you are allergic to ragweed.
