Herbal hydrangea is commonly
used as a homeopathic remedy for treating problems with the urinary
system. Companies marketing the herb
often claim it will help the body expel excess water and improve overall
urinary tract function while ridding the body of toxins. However, research on
this product also points to several negative side effects that can occur, some of which can be very dangerous
or even life-threatening.
The most serious side effect
of taking herbal hydrangea is the potential for poisoning. Hydrangea in plant form contains a substance
called hydrangin, which is toxic to humans and can cause a cyanide-like
reaction. While this probably isn’t
something to worry about with the products from most reputable manufacturers,
it’s still a very serious side effect worth mentioning.
Another harmful reaction
reported by some users of herbal hydrangea is difficulty breathing. There have been instances of people experiencing
breathing problems following consumption of hydrangea. Hypotension, or an extreme drop in blood
pressure is another reaction that is possible. This is characterized by
dizziness, fainting, and even the body going into shock. While this is dangerous for anyone, people on
high blood pressure medication in particular should avoid hydrangea, as the
herb can exacerbate this condition.
A less serious side effect,
but a negative one nonetheless, is the possibility for skin irritations. Some hydrangea users have reported itching,
rashes or hives after taking the supplement, which may be due to the saponins
found in the plant.
If you’re looking for a natural product to help
improve your urinary function or flush out your system, don’t turn to
hydrangea. The risk for negative
reactions outweighs any reported benefit, and there are a number of safer
herbal remedies available that will rid your body of excess water and toxins
and leave you feeling cleansed and rejuvenated.
