How much of this herb do you think would prove to be “toxic” to the point of becoming harmful?

hi! Low dose botanicals are usually taken at 1 drop well diluted no more than twice daily. I can’t think of any reason to ingest this herb with the exception of homeopathic usage, which as you know uses extreme dilutions. r
