black seed
Black seeds, or black cumin seeds, have traditionally been used in large doses to induce abortion. In large doses, melanthin in black seed is toxic, and nigilline is paralytic.

cabbage
Can cause flatulence in some people.

cardamom
It is said that excessive use thins the blood. Not for ulcers. Cardamom should never be boiled. Addictive as a purgative, so avoid regular use for that purpose. Not for those suffering from kidney infections, abdominal pain or intestinal infections such as appendicitis, enteritis or inflammation of the small intestine and peritonitis. May cause abortion during the early months of pregnancy if taken in large doses, best to be avoided by pregnant women.

celery
Can cause allergic reactions in some when eaten before or after vigorous exercise.

chamomile
If allergic to ragweed, don't take chamomile. Ragweed is usually mixed in with chamomile during the harvesting process.
