**Rooibos contains a number of antioxidants. While usually associated with positive actions, some concern exists over whether or not antioxidant-rich supplements interfere with the actions of chemotherapy drugs. Talk to your doctor before using rooibos tea if undergoing treatment for cancer. If you have kidney or liver disease discuss with your doctor before consuming herbs of any kind. Pregnant or nursing mothers should also consult with their doctors before consuming herbs of any kind.
