As well, ppl with low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) should use it in moderation as to not lower their sugar levels too low. This can be life threatening. Ask a doctor if you are on any medications or have a medical issue before self medicating with any herb or spice. Treat them with respect. They ARE God's medicine cabinet, so act accordingly.
