HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Alle-Relief by Eclectic Herb

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

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Alle-Relief has 3 active ingredients: nettle, mullein, and eyebright, all delivered as a liquid. The product also contains glycerin and filtered water as inactive ingredients.

These are traditional botanicals used for respiratory and allergy support, though the evidence for most is limited.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Sinus support for children.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Rhinosinusitis, Common cold, Conjunctivitis, Cough, Bronchitis — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold, Cough, Pharyngitis, Rhinosinusitis, and more.
  • Also on file: Mullein is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Bronchitis.

The evidence behind these ingredients is thin. Nettle is rated possibly effective for diabetes, but for everything else in this formula — allergies, asthma, cough — the evidence isn't established in the data we hold.

Mullein and eyebright have no established evidence for any of their traditional uses either. You're working mostly with tradition here, not solid clinical proof.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stinging Nettle Mullein Eyebright

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

When taken as directed, nettle and mullein are generally well tolerated in the short term, though human safety data are limited for mullein. The most common side effects from nettle are constipation and diarrhea.

Eyebright is likely safe as a tea in small amounts but has been reported to cause confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, cough, and nasal congestion. Nettle is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because of traditional concerns about the uterus and lack of safety data.

The same applies to mullein and eyebright — there isn't enough safety information for either pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Stinging Nettle Mullein Eyebright

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Eyebright, Mullein, Stinging Nettle.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 284 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.

Before you start Alle-Relief, double-check if you take blood thinners like warfarin — nettle's vitamin K content can reduce how well they work. Also check diabetes medications (nettle and eyebright may lower blood sugar further), diuretics (nettle can amplify their effect), and lithium (nettle might raise its levels).

These are Moderate or Minor severity concerns, but they matter for your safety.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Alle-Relief is a traditional blend for allergies and respiratory symptoms, but its effectiveness isn't well established. The bigger issue is its interactions with blood thinners, diabetes drugs, diuretics, and lithium.

If you take any of those, check your specific medications with our tool before starting. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor first.

Nettle4 drug types · 164 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stinging nettle might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that stinging nettle might decrease blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, combining stinging nettle with diuretic drugs may have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that the above ground parts and roots of stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, stinging nettle might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stinging nettle has diuretic and natriuretic properties, which could alter the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is some concern that stinging nettle might decrease the effects of anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin.
Stinging nettle contains a significant amount of vitamin K. When taken in large quantities, this might interfere with the activity of warfarin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Mullein1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Lab tests on extracts from different parts of common and dense-flowered mullein plants show that they do have some blood-thinning effects, as they increase the time it takes for blood to clot. This is likely due to at least one of the known constituents of muellein, triterpenoid saponins. However, the effects appear to be mild and results have been inconsistent. Extracts from different plant parts have been show to have varying anticoagulant strengths, with water-based ones being more potent than alcohol-based extracts.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence A

Eyebright1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, eyebright might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that eyebright lowers blood glucose levels.

Alle-Relief by Eclectic Herb: Common Questions

Does Alle-Relief by Eclectic Herb interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Alle-Relief has a known interaction with 284 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Alle-Relief contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this product work for hay fever and allergies?
The ingredients have been used traditionally for allergies, but we don't have reliable evidence that they actually work for hay fever or allergic rhinitis. Nettle is possibly effective for diabetes, but that's the strongest rating we have for any condition this product targets.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No — nettle, mullein, and eyebright all lack sufficient safety data for pregnancy. Nettle has additional traditional concerns about effects on the uterus. Talk with your doctor before using this product if you're pregnant or thinking about it.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking Alle-Relief?
The safety data for all three ingredients during breastfeeding hasn't been established, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
What are the side effects of nettle?
When taken by mouth, nettle most commonly causes constipation or diarrhea. In rare cases, liver problems have been reported in people taking herbal products containing nettle, though other ingredients were also involved. If you touch raw plant parts directly, you may get itching, rash, or stinging.
Why do I need to check my blood thinner medication with this product?
Nettle contains a lot of vitamin K, which — in large amounts — can work against warfarin and other blood thinners. That's a Moderate concern that could affect how well your medication works, so it's important to verify your specific drug before starting.
Is this product a filler-free formula?
No — besides the three active ingredients, it contains glycerin and filtered water. These are inactive ingredients that help deliver the formula as a liquid.
