Precautions to consider when taking Persimmon Leaves, to rule out prescription drug interactions (not presented as complete list but partial):
As far as prescription drug interactions from persimmon leaves, I have found no evidence that any exist. However, you should always check with your doctor if on any prescription drug medications at all, because new interactions are being discovered all the time, as more and more people turn to alternative remedies as adjunctive therapy for healing.
A note on pregnancy: In general, pregnant women and nursing mothers should ALWAYS talk with their doctor before using any herbs at all.

Detoxing Disclaimer: Detoxing teas like the holy tea blend can be tremendously effective for chronic constipation relief. There are also user testimonials from people with conditions involving the eliminatory tract, such as Chrohns, where the tea has been markedly helpful. However, if you have any type of colon health issue such as Crohns, IBS, diverticulitis, colon cancer or other colon issue, please check with your doctor before adding Holy Tea to your regimen. I also suggest starting at a lower daily dose til you see how your body will react to the detoxing tea blend.
