No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Wood Sage and Propranolol in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Wood Sage and Propranolol

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Propranolol and Wood Sage in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Wood Sage at all — not against Propranolol, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Propranolol

This page covers Wood Sage only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Propranolol page lists 236 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), American Mistletoe (major), Indian Snakeroot (major) and Tyramine (major).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Propranolol page

“Propranolol (Inderal) slows the heart and lowers blood pressure, which is exactly why its 236-ingredient interaction list deserves genuine care. Five entries rate major, and those are the ones to understand first.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Wood Sage is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Wood Sage reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Wood Sage and Propranolol records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Wood Sage

What is Wood Sage?

  • Digestive upset
  • Sore throat and mouth rinse
  • Mild fevers and colds
  • Wound and skin washes (traditional)
  • Appetite stimulation

Wood sage (Teucrium scorodonia) is a wild herb in the mint family that has been used in traditional European folk medicine, mainly for digestion, sore throats, and minor wounds. There is very little modern scientific evidence to confirm it works for any health condition, and some related Teucrium species have been linked to liver harm, so caution is warranted. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Teucrium scorodonia · Lamiaceae · Aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops) · Tea (infusion), tincture, dried herb

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Wood Sage is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Wood Sage record says about it on its own.

Wood Sage: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for wood sage. It has not been studied well enough to recommend a specific safe amount.Traditionally it was used as a weak tea made from the dried herb, or as a tincture, but historical recipes vary and are not a substitute for tested dosing. Avoid long-term use.

Brand names: Inderal LA, Inderal, Angilol, Syprol, Inderal Injection, Half-Inderal LA, Bedranol SR, Half Beta Prograne, Beta Prograne, Lopranol LA, Slo-Pro, InnoPran XL

This intravenous (IV) form of propranolol is used in hospital or clinical settings to treat dangerous heart rhythm problems. It is generally reserved for life-threatening arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) or those that occur during anesthesia.

Specific conditions it treats include fast heart rates coming from the upper chambers of the heart (supraventricular tachycardia), certain arrhythmias caused by digitalis toxicity, dangerous ventricular rhythms that haven't responded to other treatments, and fast heart rates caused by excess adrenaline-like substances during surgery.
