Ground Ivy (Creeping Charlie) — Traditional Use & Preparation
A common lawn mint with a genuinely specific caution attached — the diuretic and kidney-condition catch.
Cautions to Know
- Kidney conditions or diuretic medication: Ground ivy's mild diuretic effect means anyone managing a kidney condition or taking a diuretic medication should use caution — this specific catch was already present in the source card, not something added in review.
- Mint family (Lamiaceae) allergy: Same family-allergy consideration as any mint-family herb in this section.
