HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Clarkia-100 Tincture by Barlow Herbal
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
Clarkia-100 Tincture is a liquid blend of 5 ingredients: clove, black walnut, quassia, wormwood, and hydrogen peroxide. The first four are herbs in a proprietary blend; their exact amounts aren't disclosed separately.
The tincture also contains cane alcohol as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for clove in this product is limited: it's rated possibly effective for ventilator-associated pneumonia (a serious lung infection in hospitalized patients on breathing machines), but there isn't reliable evidence to rate it for cough, acute pain, or indigestion. Black walnut, quassia, and wormwood all lack reliable evidence for their traditional uses — the facts don't support claims for heart disease, skin conditions, or other purposes listed.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Clove is generally well tolerated when used as a food spice, but concentrated clove oil can be irritating or toxic in larger amounts; doses as small as 5–10 mL can be toxic in children. Black walnut's leaf, bark, and hull contain high tannins and may cause stomach upset or skin irritation; tree nuts can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people.
Quassia in medicinal amounts can cause nausea, vomiting, and stomach irritation; long-term use has been linked to vision changes. Wormwood contains thujone, a neurotoxin — medicinal doses can cause muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and in rare cases, kidney damage and seizures.
During pregnancy, black walnut is likely safe, but quassia and wormwood are not recommended — quassia is likely unsafe and wormwood may stimulate the uterus. While breastfeeding, black walnut and quassia are possibly unsafe or unsafe; wormwood lacks safety data and should be avoided.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take diabetes medications (clove and quassia may lower blood sugar), heart medications including digoxin (quassia), seizure medications (wormwood), potassium-depleting diuretics (quassia), blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (clove), or acid-reflux medications like H2-blockers, antacids, or PPIs (quassia). Clove may also slow the liver's processing of many other drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, or CYP2C9.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This tincture is not suitable if you take diabetes drugs, heart medications, seizure medications, diuretics, or acid-reflux drugs without checking with your pharmacist first. The herb content also carries real risks of stomach irritation and toxicity, especially in children.
If you have tree nut allergies, mention this product to your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Clarkia-100 Tincture by Barlow Herbal Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Clarkia-100 Tincture by Barlow Herbal contains several herbs with documented interactions to medications.
Clove is the source of the most serious interactions — its main active compound, eugenol, can slow how your liver processes a large group of drugs metabolized by the enzyme systems CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP2C9 (Moderate severity), potentially raising their levels in your blood. Additionally, clove may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you take diabetes medications, and theoretically may increase bleeding risk with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, though this has not been observed in people.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Quassia adds further concerns: it may increase low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) risk with diabetes medications (Moderate), compound potassium loss if you take diuretics (Moderate), and theoretically boost the effects of digoxin, a heart medication (Moderate). It may also reduce the effectiveness of acid-reflux drugs like H2-blockers, antacids, and PPIs.
Wormwood interacts with anticonvulsants — its thujone content may interfere with seizure control (Moderate).
Black walnut and hydrogen peroxide show no interactions in our data, though we hold no information on hydrogen peroxide. Altogether, these interactions span 1,078 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Clarkia-100 Tincture with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Clove
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of clove extracts with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical and laboratory research suggest that polyphenol extracts from clove flower buds might lower blood glucose levels. Dosing adjustments for insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents may be necessary when taken with clove. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, can inhibit CYP1A2 in a dose-dependent manner,. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, inhibits CYP2C9 in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, can inhibit CYP2D6 in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, can inhibit CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, clove oil may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that eugenol, a constituent of clove, has antiplatelet activity. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Ibuprofen (Advil, Others)
Theoretically, topical application of clove oil with ibuprofen might increase the absorption and side effects of topical ibuprofen.
Laboratory research shows that topical application of clove oil increases the absorption of topical ibuprofen. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Quassia
Antidiabetes Drugs
In animals, quassia extract reduced levels of fasting glucose. Theoretically, quassia might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, concomitant use with cardiac medications might increase the risk of therapeutic and adverse effects.
Diuretic Drugs
Overuse of quassia might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking quassia along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia. Initiation of potassium supplementation or an increase in potassium supplement dose may be necessary for some patients.
Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.
Antacids
Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of antacids.
H2-Blockers
Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of H2-blockers. The H2 blockers include cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), nizatidine (Axid), and famotidine (Pepcid).
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)
Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of PPIs. PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix), and esomeprazole (Nexium).
Wormwood
Anticonvulsants
Theoretically, taking wormwood might interfere with the effects of anticonvulsant drugs.
Thujone, a constituent of wormwood, has convulsant effects.
