Safety, Cautions & Contraindications

Safety note^[13]Info

Traditional-use indication only: if diarrhoea persists longer than 3-4 days, or symptoms of mouth/throat inflammation persist beyond about a week, a doctor should be consulted.

Safety note^[13]Caution

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended, as safety has not been established.

Safety note^{[13, 15]}Info

Tannin-rich; very high or prolonged intake may cause gastrointestinal upset or constipation and can reduce the absorption of iron and some medicines taken at the same time.

Safety note^{[11, 12, 13]}Info

Never swallow a spoon of dry chia seeds and “chase” with water. They can swell fast and (rarely) cause a blockage, especially if someone already has swallowing problems (American College of Gastroenterology, 2014) Blood pressure / diabetes meds: if you’re on medication for blood pressure or blood sugar, chia as a major daily addition may slightly add to the effect for some people—monitor and talk to your clinician (Saadh et al., 2024) (Pam et al., 2024).

Safety note^{[11, 12, 13, 14]}Info

Duke (2002) does not include a dedicated entry for Chia (Salvia hispanica) in the Handbook of Medicinal Herbs, Second Edition.

Botanical Description

Slender, downy perennial herb with a basal rosette of pinnately compound leaves and a single, unbranched, upright flowering stem. The leaflets are toothed, alternating large and small, and silvery-downy beneath. Small, five-petalled, bright yellow flowers are borne closely along a slender terminal spike (raceme), opening a few at a time from the base upwards, giving the old name 'church steeples'. After flowering, small bristly, hooked burrs form that cling to clothing and animal fur for dispersal.^{[13, 14]}

Height: 30-100 cm

Habit: Erect, downy perennial herb

Leaves: Pinnately compound, toothed leaflets of alternating large and small size, silvery-downy beneath

Flowers: Small, five-petalled, bright yellow flowers crowded on a slender terminal spike

Stem: Single, unbranched, upright, downy flowering stem

Root: Woody rootstock

Fruit: Small bristly, hooked burr that clings to clothing and fur

Flowering Period: June-September

Annual herb (Lamiaceae), 1-1.5 m tall, with square stems. Leaves are opposite, ovate to oblong with a toothed margin. Small purple to white, two-lipped flowers are borne in dense terminal spikes, followed by small oval seeds (grey-brown, mottled, or occasionally white) - the part used.^[1]

Height: 1-1.5 m

Habit: Erect annual herb

Leaves: Opposite, ovate to oblong, toothed

Flowers: Small, purple to white, two-lipped, in dense terminal spikes

Stem: Square, erect

Root: Fibrous annual root system

Fruit: Small oval seeds, grey-brown and mottled (or occasionally white)

Flowering Period: Variable, typically late summer in its native range

Habitat

Grows in dry grassland, hedgerows, field margins, roadsides and open woodland edges on well-drained, often calcareous soils; native and common throughout Europe, temperate Asia and North Africa.^{[13, 14]}

Native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala, historically a staple crop of Aztec and Mayan agriculture; now cultivated commercially in warm subtropical and tropical regions worldwide (notably South America and Australia) as a food crop.^[1]

Harvesting

The flowering aerial parts are cut in summer, at the start of flowering, and dried promptly in a warm, airy, shaded place.^[13]

Parts: Aerial parts (flowering herb)

Season: Summer, at the start of flowering

Seed heads are harvested once dry, typically in autumn, and threshed to release the small seeds.^[1]

Parts: Seed

Season: Autumn, once seed heads have dried

Traditional Uses

Agrimony has a long folk history as an astringent remedy for mild diarrhoea, as a gargle for sore throats and mild mouth/throat inflammation, and as a mild bitter digestive tonic; it has also been applied topically to minor wounds and skin inflammation. It is officially recognised in the European Union herbal monograph for traditional use in mild diarrhoea and mild inflammation of the mouth or throat.^{[13, 14]}

Chia seed has an ancient Mesoamerican food-medicine tradition as an energy-sustaining staple food for Aztec warriors and runners. Its modern popularity centres on its dense nutrient profile - fibre, omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) fatty acids, protein and antioxidants - studied for metabolic, cardiovascular and digestive support.^[1]

Preparations

Infusion^[13]

Dried flowering herb infused in hot water, taken internally for mild diarrhoea and digestive complaints or used as a gargle/mouthwash for sore throat.

Poultice/compress^[13]

Crushed or infused herb applied externally to minor wounds and skin inflammation.

Whole or ground seed (culinary)^[1]

Eaten whole, ground, or soaked to form a gel (due to the seed's high mucilage content), stirred into food or drinks.

Dosage

Infusion^[13]

The EU herbal monograph gives 1.5-4 g of the comminuted herb in 250 mL (or less) of boiling water as an infusion, 2-3 times daily, in adolescents, adults and elderly. As a gargle for mild oral or throat inflammation, 1.5 g in 150 mL of boiling water 2-4 times daily, or a decoction of 3-4.5 g in 250 mL 2-3 times daily. Educational reference only, not a prescription.

Tincture^[13]

The EU herbal monograph gives 1-4 mL three times daily (orally, or as a gargle for oral and throat use). Educational reference only, not a prescription.

Whole/ground seed^{[1, 2]}

Typical dietary and study amounts range from about 15-25 g (roughly 1-2 tablespoons) of seed daily, usually soaked or ground for better digestibility. Educational reference only, not a prescription; always take with adequate liquid, never dry-swallowed.
