A cup of herbal tea after lunch, another one mid-morning, another one for a snack...There is no shortage of opportunities to drink an infusion. If a fruit has less active principles than a plant (fennel for example), its other parts (seeds, roots that we use) are more powerful. Thus, take care not to exceed three cups per day.Indeed, certain plants, consumed in an excessive way, can be harmful. The trick would be to vary them in order to avoid too high a concentration of an active principle.
