==Special Precautions of Bayberry==
Bayberry may not be safe for anyone, but it is especially risky for people with the following conditions:
*Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Bayberry is considered POSSIBLY UNSAFE to take by mouth or apply to the skin if you are pregnant or breast-feeding because it contains a chemical that can cause cancer. Since Bayberry can stimulate uterine contractions, avoid during pregnancy.
*High blood pressure: Bayberry contains large amounts of chemicals called tannins. Tannins can increase the amount of sodium that the body retains. This can cause extra fluids to build up, and that can raise blood pressure. It’s especially important to avoid bayberry if you have high blood pressure.
