Germander is UNSAFE. France has banned its sale. Canada does not allow germander to be included in products that are taken by mouth. However, the US still allows germander to be used in small amounts as a flavoring agent in alcoholic beverages. The safety concern is that germander has caused several cases of liver disease (hepatitis) and death. Despite these concerns, some continue to take germander for treating gallbladder conditions, fever, stomachaches, and mild diarrhea; as a digestive aid, germ-killer, and to help with weight loss. Germander or Teucrium chamaedrys is detrimental to both PKD and PLD.
