If you buy pre-made herbal tea blends (usually have names like Bedtime, Calm, etc) check the ingredients. I just saw a Nighttime blend that had St. Johns Wort in it, which can be dangerous when mixed with some medications. Talk to you doctor what herbs you should avoid. (Especially when you want to ingest st. Johns wort or mugwort) 

 A simple hint to remember is just because its in a food store, doesn’t mean its safe. 

St. John’s Wort shouldn’t be taken with antidepressants as well as many anti-anxiety meds (such as Xanax)! For a full list see below:

signal boost for safety

St. John’s Wort reacts with a scary high amount of medications. Seriously. As a pharmacy tech, I’ve learned to notify a pharmacist EVERY TIME someone has some with them/some tea with it in there when they come to pick up their prescriptions. Even if the tea’s not for them or it’s not their own meds, we notify them just as a friendly head’s up.

fellow tea lovers, have each other’s back
