- Only if you have a leaf from a clean site and confident ID, taste the tip of a small leaf or recall sourness from memory without picking.
- For a moment notice where on the tongue you feel acid irritation — without judging “healthy × unhealthy”.
- Rinse mouth with water as needed.
- With kidney stones or an oxalate diet skip this step — stay with a leaf image only.
Safety and limits
High acid content — pick only after ID; oxalate limits — follow your clinician.
