Avoid with gallstones or active peptic ulcers, as it may stimulate stomach acid. May interact with blood-thinning medication and diabetes medication — consult a healthcare provider before use if taking either. Avoid during pregnancy and nursing. Look for sustainably wild-harvested or cultivated sources, as overharvesting is a concern for this slow-growing desert plant.
