First up: dry mouth levels you did not sign up for. Fever Grass is a diuretic, which is a fancy way of saying it makes you pee like a racehorse. Drink a big mug of the tea before bed? Congratulations, you’re now the CEO of midnight bathroom visits.
For some people, it’s not just your kidneys that get the memo—your stomach might start a protest. Heartburn, cramping, or weird burps that taste like a lemon-scented candle? Yeah, that’s a thing. Your digestive system doesn’t always appreciate the herb’s “let’s go wild” energy.
The Skin Game: Not Always a Glow
Here’s a surprise: Fever Grass can make your skin throw a hissy fit. If you slather on lemongrass essential oil without diluting it, you might get a rash that looks like you arm-wrestled a cactus. Your skin is not a salad—don’t pour lemon juice on it and walk away.
And if you’re allergic to celery or mugwort? Pump the brakes. Fever Grass is in the same botanical family, so you could end up with hives or a swollen lip that makes you look like you just got lip injections from a discount clown.
