Not covered (AHP). Health hazards not known with proper therapeutic dosages (PH2). But PH2 suggests the dose of 3 - 18 g, rather high for an herb they describe as severely toxic. If they are correct in their calculations, the herb would contain only 240 ppm thujone, much less than sage, for example.
