Is it safe to consume Labrador tea flowers?

There is a lot of information circulating about Labrador tea that raises questions about its toxicity. The two factors involved are:

1. Andromedotoxin

Several shrubs of the Ericaceae family contain andromedotoxin (a toxic active ingredient) in small quantities. However, it is only when ingested in large doses that this element can cause cramps, headaches or intestinal difficulties. Thus, fans of this plant who drink it daily do not report having felt these symptoms or complications. Everything remains in moderation when consuming it.

2. Tannin

This substance is used by plants in their defense system against pathogenic microbes. Tannin is found in trees, leaves, fruits and in our food in general. Tannins are therefore present in beer, cider, tea, coffee and especially in red wine, which gives it its dark color. For very sensitive stomachs, it can be difficult to digest. Before giving birth (during the third trimester), First Nations women consumed this infusion three times a day to promote relaxation, counter inflammation and facilitate labor.

Cette plante a une saveur boisée, subtile et bien à elle, à mi-chemin entre la menthe et la résine de sapin, ce qui en fait un breuvage très rafraîchissant. Elle contient aussi des notes florales et acidulées qui apportent une complexité dans sa composition.

On l’utilise aussi dans certaines bières, gins, bouillons pour gibier, pour cuisiner en substitut à la feuille de laurier ou pour donner de la saveur à plusieurs types de recettes.
