At The Curious Teacup, we appreciate the traditional knowledge, history and beauty of botanical ingredients.

We believe in responsible herbal practices, informed choices and respecting the individual nature of every person's wellness journey.

Please read this information before purchasing or using our herbal products.

1. Traditional Herbal Use

Our website may contain information about traditional herbal practices, botanical ingredients and their historical uses.

Traditional use does not automatically establish scientific evidence of safety or effectiveness for a particular purpose.

Herbal information is provided for general educational purposes and is not a guarantee of a particular result.

2. Individual Responses

Every person is different.

People may respond differently to herbs depending on age, health, sensitivities, existing conditions, medication and other factors.

A product suitable for one individual may not be suitable for another.

3. Allergies and Sensitivities

Herbal and botanical ingredients can cause allergic reactions, sensitivities or unwanted effects.

Customers should:

• Read the complete ingredient list before use.
• Avoid ingredients to which they have known allergies.
• Discontinue use if an unexpected reaction occurs.
• Seek appropriate medical assistance if symptoms are severe.

Some herbs may interact with prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines and other supplements.

Potential interactions may affect medication effectiveness or increase the risk of unwanted effects.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional or pharmacist before combining herbal products with medication.

Variations in colour, aroma, texture and appearance may occur between batches.

We take care in preparing and packaging our products. Customers should check packaging integrity, ingredient information and expiry or best-before details where provided.
