Ground Ivy (Creeping Charlie) — Traditional Use & Preparation

A common lawn mint with a genuinely specific caution already attached in the source — the diuretic/kidney-condition catch here is the kind of real, non-generic warning the Herbal Medicine Safety Principles card calls out as the exception, not the rule.

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.
