Germander (Teucrium) is a perennial herbaceous plant that has been cultivated and used for centuries in many cultures. It is primarily employed to soothe digestive discomfort, reduce inflammation, and treat minor skin irritations, often in the form of teas or topical preparations. Because certain Teucrium extracts can cause liver injury, use is limited to small amounts, and the herb should be avoided during pregnancy, by individuals with liver disease, or by anyone who has experienced liver dysfunction, with consultation from a healthcare professional.
