HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Achillea Mil. Yarrow by Wise Woman Herbals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.50 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: Yarrow. It's a traditional herbal remedy that's been used for various purposes, including supporting immune health and wound care.

The yarrow is delivered in a liquid form with alcohol and spring water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Yarrow product and its label doesn't state a use — see Yarrow's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for yarrow's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. For tonsillitis, wound healing, eczema, menstrual pain, and vaginal yeast infections—all traditional uses of yarrow—the research is insufficient to make a reliable rating.

If you're considering yarrow for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist about what the current evidence actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

When taken by mouth or applied inside the vagina, yarrow is generally well tolerated. When applied to skin, dermatitis (skin irritation) is the most common adverse effect, and some people experience allergic reactions or sun-related skin reactions due to its natural compounds.

A small number of trial participants have reported other skin reactions or respiratory effects from handling the plant. Yarrow is not recommended in pregnancy—the safety data advise against it because it may affect the uterus.

There isn't enough safety information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Yarrow.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take lithium, do not start this product without talking to your doctor or pharmacist—yarrow may increase lithium levels and require a dose adjustment (Moderate interaction).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Yarrow is a single-ingredient herbal liquid traditionally used for various purposes, but evidence of effectiveness isn't established. It's generally well tolerated when swallowed, though skin reactions are possible with topical use.
