HelloPharmacist Scorecard of David Winston's Reckless Blood Tonic by Herbalist & Alchemist

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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid tonic contains five active plant extracts: cinnamon bark, yarrow flowering tops, witch hazel leaf, shepherd's purse whole plant, and bugleweed flowering tops. The product is formulated as a liquid in a base of distilled water, ethyl alcohol, and vegetable glycerin — the alcohol helps extract and preserve the plant compounds.

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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports capillary tonicity and bleeding control.
  • We looked for evidence on: Minor bleeding, Menorrhagia, Wound healing, Bruises, Hemorrhoids, Hemostasis — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Witch Hazel is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hemorrhoids (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Shepherd's Purse is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Menorrhagia.
  • Also on file: Yarrow is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing.

The evidence for what this blend actually does is thin. Cinnamon has insufficient reliable evidence for amenorrhea, angina, common cold, diabetes, diarrhea, and dyslipidemia.

Yarrow's evidence is similarly insufficient for tonsillitis, wound healing, eczema, menstrual cramping, and yeast infections. Witch hazel is possibly effective for hemorrhoids but possibly ineffective for eczema.

Shepherd's purse and bugleweed have insufficient evidence for their traditional uses. If you're looking for this product to treat a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the science backs it up.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cassia Cinnamon Yarrow Witch Hazel Shepherd's Purse Bugleweed

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 4 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cinnamon bark at high supplement doses — especially over long periods — may harm your liver because it contains coumarin. The safety notes advise against high-dose cinnamon in pregnancy.

Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus, and there isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding. Shepherd's purse may stimulate the uterus, so avoid it in pregnancy, and breastfeeding safety is unclear.

Bugleweed is likely unsafe in pregnancy and possibly unsafe while breastfeeding because it may reduce milk production. Witch hazel is generally well tolerated on the skin but wasn't designed for oral use, and safety data for breastfeeding are limited.

A small number of people have reported rash or contact dermatitis with cinnamon or yarrow, and one case of low blood sugar seizure was reported with cinnamon, though causation was unclear.

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?
  • 4 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Shepherd's Purse, Bugleweed, Yarrow, Cassia Cinnamon.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 667 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 tonic, double-check it against thyroid hormone replacements (both shepherd's purse and bugleweed can interfere), lithium, central nervous system depressants like sedatives or anxiety medications, and hepatotoxic drugs. No interactions are documented for witch hazel leaf extract.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This tonic has real interactions with common medications, especially thyroid drugs, lithium, sedatives, and liver-toxic drugs — run it through the checker below before you start. The evidence for what it actually does is insufficient across most uses.

Cinnamon bark extract2 drug types · 442 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, cassia cinnamon may have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Cassia cinnamon may lower blood glucose levels, and have additive effects in patients treated with antidiabetic agents. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, large doses of cassia cinnamon might cause additive effects when used with hepatotoxic drugs.
There is some concern that ingesting large amounts of cassia cinnamon for an extended duration might cause hepatotoxicity in some people. Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, which can cause hepatotoxicity in animal models. In humans, very high doses of coumarin from 50-7000 mg/day can result in hepatotoxicity that resolves when coumarin use is discontinued. Lower amounts might also cause liver problems in sensitive people, such as those with liver disease or those taking potentially hepatotoxic agents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Theoretically, concomitant use with drugs with sedative properties may cause additive effects and side effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, concomitant use may interfere with thyroid dysfunction therapy.

Bugleweed flowering tops extract1 drug type · 16 drugs

Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, bugleweed may alter thyroid function.
Concomitant use of bugleweed may reduce the effects of thyroid hormones by blocking peripheral conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3).

Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Yarrow flowering tops extract1 drug type · 1 drug

Lithium

Theoretically, taking yarrow with lithium might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research shows that yarrow has diuretic activity. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, yarrow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

David Winston's Reckless Blood Tonic by Herbalist & Alchemist: Common Questions

Does David Winston's Reckless Blood Tonic by Herbalist & Alchemist interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, David Winston's Reckless Blood Tonic has a known interaction with 666 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
David Winston's Reckless Blood Tonic 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.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No — several ingredients here are flagged as likely unsafe in pregnancy. Yarrow and shepherd's purse may affect the uterus, bugleweed isn't safe, and cinnamon at medicinal doses should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering it.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Safety data are limited or unsafe for several ingredients in this blend. Bugleweed may reduce milk production, yarrow and shepherd's purse don't have enough safety information, and witch hazel is unclear. Your doctor or pharmacist should weigh in.
What is yarrow supposed to do in this formula?
Yarrow has been used traditionally for wound healing, eczema, and menstrual issues, but the evidence for these uses is insufficient. We don't have reliable data backing its effectiveness for the purposes this tonic is meant to address.
Will this lower my blood sugar?
Cinnamon bark may lower blood glucose in theory, which is why it interacts with diabetes medications — dose adjustments might be necessary if you take them. One case of low blood sugar seizure was reported in a clinical trial, though it wasn't clear cinnamon caused it. Talk to your doctor if you're diabetic.
What are the inactive ingredients?
The liquid base is distilled water, ethyl alcohol, and vegetable glycerin. These are the carriers and preservatives — not the active plant extracts.
Can this damage my liver?
Cinnamon bark contains coumarin, and large doses taken long-term may cause liver damage in some people. The safety data advise caution with high-dose cinnamon supplementation. If you have liver disease or take liver-toxic medications, ask your pharmacist first.
