Tag: Labrador tea safety

Labrador tea, traditionally used for its medicinal properties by Indigenous peoples for centuries, contains potentially toxic compounds. While generally considered safe when consumed in small amounts as a weak infusion, large doses or incorrect preparation can be harmful.

Research indicates that drinking no more than one to two cups of Labrador tea per day is a maximum recommended intake due to the mild toxicity of the plant's compounds. This powerful herbal infusion, known for its distinct aroma and traditional uses, requires careful preparation to be consumed safely and responsibly.
