I think you'll need to Google "Levo + (whatever herb) interactions"

Hi Marwari,

Apart from green tea I also drink nettle tea, peppermint tea, chamomile tea and lemon and ginger tea, all without any problem. I never drink them anywhere near my levothyroxine which I take between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. depending on when I wake in the night.

Hope this is helpful.

Best wishes

Caroline
