One of the most striking features of this plant is indeed the strong, aromatic, bitter or acrid scent, but once you get used to it, it can be very soothing and comforting. ***NOTE: Rue can be dangerous for pregnant or nursing women and should NOT be used during pregnancy, possible pregnancy or around pregnant or nursing women. *** Please skin test before use to prevent skin sensitivity.
