Important: Freeze-dried products retain a high concentration of nutrients. During freeze-drying, 5 volumes of raw product yield 1 volume of finished product. The properties and qualities of the product are preserved — 10 g of freeze-dried St. John’s wort and Aronia berries contain the same amount of nutrients and vitamins as 50 g of raw ones, which must be taken into account when dosing. Not a medicine. Herbal tea is not a substitute for treatment but serves as gentle natural support.

In case of arterial hypotension, peptic ulcer, gastritis with high acidity, thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, pancreatitis, gallstones, kidney stones (consult a doctor).
