The leaves and bark of the tree are used. Contains alkaloids (boldine), essential oil (ascaridol), coumarins and tannin. Properties attributed: digestive, cholagogue, diuretic. Indications Commission E of the German Ministry of Health and the European Medicines Agency: dyspepsia and intestinal spasms (EMA 2009, Blumenthal 1998). Oral administration.
At the date of last update we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
The essential oil is toxic and very irritating due to its ascaridol content. Hallucinatory states, behavioral disturbances, tachycardia and liver toxicity have occurred after consumption of boldo infusions. (Oliveira 2020, Ribeiro 2017, Chaboussant 2014, Agarwal 2006, Piscaglia 2005)
Given its toxicity it seems prudent not to consume it during breastfeeding or to do so very occasionally.
