HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Botanical Blends Blood Orange by Traditional Medicinals
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
This tea blend contains 9 ingredients, including a proprietary herbal mix. The active herbs are licorice, hibiscus, orange, stevia, meadowsweet, orange peel essential oil, blood orange peel essential oil, rose hip, and tulsi (holy basil).
There are no inactive filler ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Evidence for this blend's effectiveness is limited. Rose hip is possibly effective for postoperative pain and osteoarthritis.
Licorice is possibly effective for canker sores and atopic dermatitis (eczema). The other ingredients — hibiscus, orange, stevia, meadowsweet, blood orange peel, and tulsi — lack established evidence in our data for their claimed uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Licorice in food amounts is generally well tolerated, but high doses or long-term use of the active compound glycyrrhizin can cause serious problems — avoid it in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Common side effects from licorice include headache, nausea, and vomiting; contact dermatitis has been reported with topical use.
Meadowsweet contains salicylates and is not well studied; it's best avoided in pregnancy and lactation. Rose hip and stevia are generally well tolerated as foods but lack safety data at supplement doses.
Tulsi is generally well tolerated short-term in adults but should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Blood orange peel essential oil is likely safe as food, but concentrated oils are less studied.
Stevia and rose hip may cause mild gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, loose stools, or nausea.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, have your pharmacist check any drugs you take that fall into these categories: drugs that depend on blood orange peel for their absorption (Major severity — cholesterol medications, antiparasitals, heart drugs, and others); heart medications like digoxin; blood thinners such as warfarin; water pills; liver-metabolized chemotherapy drugs; blood sugar or blood pressure medications; and lithium. No interactions are documented for hibiscus, orange, or orange peel essential oil separately.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a tea blend suited to someone without heart disease, blood clots, or medications affected by its ingredients. If you take any prescription drugs — especially blood thinners, heart pills, diabetes or blood pressure meds, or chemotherapy — check each one against the tool on this page before brewing a cup.
Talk to your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
