There are no studies that directly examine the interactions between herbal infusions and the use of probiotics. However, I can cite a 2019 review examining the effects of plant-based drugs on the gut microbiota: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332219320554. In the review, they conclude that plant-based drugs can affect the composition of the intestinal flora by m.in changing the acidity and alkalinity of the gastrointestinal tract. It is believed that medicinal plants can regulate the composition of the intestinal flora by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and by inhibiting the growth of unfavorable pathogenic bacteria.
