Bedstraw may enhance the effects of anticoagulant medications, which may lead to an increased risk of bleeding. Therefore, caution should be exercised and a doctor should be consulted before using bedstraw in individuals taking such medications.
"In spring, bedstraw does a general cleanup." It cleanses, strengthens, and brings a breath of freshness. Infusions and infusions made from the fresh herb dissolve and sweep toxins from nooks and crannies, softening and removing hardened deposits. They dispel congestion and stagnation, "moving" cellular fluids, refreshing and toning the lymphatic channels. Most herbs associated with the lymphatic system are drying, which can cause irritation. However, bedstraw has a gentle and nourishing effect. It can be safely used for long periods and is safe for children.
It cools, moisturizes, and is a "wound healer," the best herb for soothing irritation and inflammation associated with pathological heat. It unclogs lymphatic channels, removes cystic growths, and eliminates swelling in tissues and glands. When lymph nodes are enlarged, bedstraw should always be considered first." – quote from Bogusia della Porta, author of the website Sekrety-zdrowia.org, and author of articles in the monthly "Zdrowie bez lek."
