R68.00
Pharma Germania Natural Products Rue Herb Cut contains dried Ruta graveolens, commonly known as Rue or Common Rue.
Rue is a strongly aromatic and bitter herb with a long history in European and Mediterranean traditional herbal practice. Historically, it has been used in preparations associated with digestive comfort, circulation and muscular or joint wellbeing.
The herb contains a complex range of naturally occurring constituents, including furanocoumarins, quinoline and acridone alkaloids, flavonoids and volatile compounds. One of its better-known flavonoids is rutin, whose name was originally derived from Ruta.
Rue is considered a potent herb rather than a gentle everyday herbal tea. Excessive internal use can cause significant adverse effects, and its historical association with uterine stimulation makes it particularly unsuitable during pregnancy.
For these reasons, internal medicinal use is best undertaken only according to the manufacturer’s directions or under the guidance of an appropriately qualified healthcare practitioner.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Rue?
Rue has a distinctive history in traditional herbal medicine, but it differs considerably from gentle everyday herbs such as Peppermint or Chamomile.
Its naturally occurring furanocoumarins, alkaloids and volatile compounds contribute both to its traditional applications and to its safety considerations.
Rue has historically been promoted for menstrual complaints and as an emmenagogue. However, because larger medicinal amounts may stimulate uterine activity and have been associated with serious toxicity, it should never be used to induce menstruation, miscarriage or labour.

Warnings & Precautions
Do not use during pregnancy. Rue has a history of uterine-stimulating activity and has been associated with serious toxicity when used in attempts to induce menstruation or abortion.
Avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding unless specifically directed by an appropriately qualified healthcare practitioner.
Do not use in children unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended dose. Excessive ingestion of Rue can be toxic and may cause severe gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, weakness and other serious adverse effects.
Rue contains furanocoumarins, which may increase sensitivity to sunlight in susceptible individuals. Skin contact with fresh Rue followed by sunlight exposure is particularly associated with phototoxic skin reactions.
Seek professional advice before use if you have liver or kidney disease, take chronic medication or have a significant existing medical condition.
Do not use Rue to induce menstruation, labour or termination of pregnancy.
