Listen to your body

Do not assume new discomfort is a normal adjustment. Stop the product and seek qualified advice if symptoms appear, grow or persist.

When to pause a remedy

  • Any rash, itching or swelling after use.
  • Persistent stomach upset, nausea or headache.
  • No improvement after a reasonable, directed period.
⚠️ Herbal products are wellness formulations. They do not replace prescribed treatment for medical conditions.

Seek medical help if…

  • You have chest pain, breathing difficulty, or severe or sudden symptoms.
  • A condition is worsening despite care.
  • You have a diagnosed illness (heart, liver, kidney, diabetes, blood pressure).

Special situations

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, children, and anyone on prescription medication should always consult a qualified physician before starting a new herbal product.

In an emergency, contact your nearest hospital immediately. This guide is for general awareness only.
