Q: Dietary herbal supplements and birth control ????

I have been drinking this organic tea for my sore throat and I"m wondering if it will interfere with my birth control. It has licorice root, slippery elm bark, licorice root dry aqueous extract, marshmallow root, wild cherry bark, bitter fennal fruit, cinnamon bark, and sweet orange peel in it. Would this cause my birth control to be ineffective???
Thanks so much
