HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Aroma Resins Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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.

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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,156 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Aroma Resins Alcohol Free contains 5 active ingredients: Frankincense Resin Extract, Myrrh Gum Resin Extract, Guggul Gum Resin Extract, Copal Oro Resin Extract, and Dragon Blood Resin Extract — all delivered as dry extracts in a proprietary blend. The product is formulated with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients, so there are no added fillers or binders.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Osteoarthritis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Boswellia Serrata) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for these resin extracts is thin. Frankincense has been studied for acne, aging skin, back pain, and cancer-related fatigue, but the data isn't strong enough to rate whether it works.

Myrrh shows insufficient evidence for back pain, cancer, colds, and other uses; it's considered likely ineffective for schistosomiasis. Guggul appears possibly ineffective for weight loss and has insufficient evidence for acne, hemorrhoids, and high cholesterol.

Dragon Blood has no effectiveness ratings in our data. The product's overall benefit for any specific condition isn't established by the facts we hold.

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 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Frankincense and myrrh applied topically or inhaled are generally well tolerated short-term, though quality varies between products. Topically, both can cause skin irritation, dermatitis, itching, or rarely allergic reactions.

Myrrh taken by mouth may cause diarrhea at higher doses. Guggul is generally well tolerated orally but often causes mild digestive upset—belching, bloating, nausea, diarrhea—and skin reactions (rash, itching, swelling); risk increases with higher doses.

Allergic skin reactions are possible. Dragon Blood has limited human safety data.

Frankincense and myrrh should be avoided during pregnancy; myrrh is traditionally said to stimulate the uterus. Neither frankincense nor myrrh has enough safety information for breastfeeding, and guggul should be avoided while nursing.

Copal Oro and Dragon Blood safety in pregnancy and lactation is not on file.

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 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Boswellia Serrata, Myrrh, Guggul.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,102 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 take this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on warfarin or another blood thinner, diabetes medications, blood pressure or heart medications (especially propranolol or diltiazem), birth control pills, estrogen therapy, thyroid hormone replacement, tamoxifen, or any drug processed by your liver. Myrrh may decrease warfarin effectiveness and raise low blood sugar risk; guggul may reduce effectiveness of several heart and blood pressure drugs, interfere with hormonal contraceptives and estrogen, increase bleeding risk, and alter how many medications are broken down.

Aroma Resins Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Aroma Resins Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aroma Resins Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 1,101 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aroma Resins Alcohol Free contains 5 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.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
No. Frankincense, myrrh, and guggul should all be avoided during pregnancy — myrrh is traditionally said to stimulate the uterus, and safety data for all three are insufficient. Copal Oro and Dragon Blood safety in pregnancy is not on file. Talk with your doctor or midwife before use.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
The safety data aren't there for any of these ingredients while nursing. Frankincense, myrrh, guggul, and copal oro should all be avoided. Dragon Blood safety is not established. Check with your pharmacist or doctor if you're considering it.
What side effects might I get from guggul?
Most common are digestive: belching, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and unpleasant taste. Skin reactions—rash, itching, facial swelling—can also occur and tend to happen more often at higher doses. Rarely, serious muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis) has been reported. Stop and tell your pharmacist if you develop a rash or unusual symptoms.
Can frankincense or myrrh irritate my skin?
Yes. When applied to skin or inhaled, both can cause dermatitis, irritation, and itching. Allergic skin reactions are rare but documented. If you develop redness, swelling, or a rash, discontinue use and rinse thoroughly.
Does myrrh cause diarrhea?
Some people report diarrhea when taking myrrh orally at doses of 2 to 4 grams. This product's exact dose isn't specified, but it's something to watch for.
