Precautions:
According to Richard Whelan, Medical Herbalist, Lavender tea is not recommended for pregnant women or young boys. Lavender can increase female hormone production. Always consult with your physician before consuming lavender tea when pregnant or breastfeeding. The increase in female hormones can also lead to the development of breast growths known as gynecomastia in prepubescent boys. While this side effect is typically reversed when lavender consumption ends, it’s best to avoid giving the tea to young boys.
