Ways to prepare it
⚖️ Cautions
- High in tannins, which can irritate the digestive tract, and contains juglone, a compound that can be sensitizing for some people — this is a strong, astringent preparation, not a gentle everyday agency.
- Avoid in pregnancy, breastfeeding, and prolonged continuous use; use caution with a tree-nut allergy, and see a doctor to properly diagnose any suspected parasitic or fungal infection rather than self-treating alone.
