HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Skin Health by Herb Pharm
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
Skin Health contains six active ingredients in a proprietary extract blend format. The named components are Ginger Rhizome Extract, Yellow Dock Root Extract, Sarsaparilla Root Extract, Stinging Nettle Seed Extract, Burdock Seed Extract, and Spilanthes Whole Flowering Plant Extract.
The product is formulated as a liquid in a base of cane alcohol, distilled water, and glycerin.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence base for Skin Health's ingredients is modest. Ginger is rated possibly effective for pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting, dysmenorrhea, and osteoarthritis, though it is rated possibly ineffective for exercise-induced muscle soreness and chemotherapy-induced nausea.
For the other ingredients—Sarsaparilla, Stinging Nettle (for most of its traditional uses), and Burdock—the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate their effectiveness for skin health or the other conditions they're traditionally used for. Stinging Nettle is rated possibly effective for diabetes.
In short, the science supporting this product's skin-health claims is not established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Ginger is generally well tolerated in typical supplement doses; however, doses above 5 grams per day increase the risk of side effects. Common mild effects include heartburn, diarrhea, burping, and a burning sensation in the mouth and throat.
Yellow Dock is generally well tolerated in food amounts but can act as a laxative; raw or uncooked leaves should be avoided because they may cause kidney stones and other serious effects due to their oxalate content. Stinging Nettle and Burdock are generally well tolerated when used as directed, though rare cases of liver injury have been reported with herbal blends containing these ingredients.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data are limited or absent for all five checked ingredients; the facts advise caution or avoidance during these periods.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, check whether you use diuretics, digoxin (Lanoxin), blood thinners such as warfarin or antiplatelet drugs, antidiabetes medications, lithium, losartan, nifedipine, or any drugs processed by your liver. Yellow Dock and Ginger carry the most significant documented risks.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a multi-ingredient herbal product with documented interactions affecting over 1,000 medications—particularly blood thinners, heart medications, antidiabetes drugs, and diuretics. If you take any prescription medications, especially for the heart, blood clotting, diabetes, or blood pressure, check your exact drugs with the tool on this page before starting.

Skin Health by Herb Pharm Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Skin Health by Herb Pharm contains six active ingredients, five of which we have interaction data for.
The product carries documented interactions with a range of medications, with the most serious being Major-severity concerns with diuretics and digoxin (Lanoxin).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Yellow Dock Root Extract poses the highest-severity risks: it may increase potassium loss when combined with diuretics, raising the risk of low potassium (hypokalemia), and it may increase digoxin toxicity in people taking it long-term or in large amounts due to this same potassium effect. Yellow Dock may also increase bleeding risk with warfarin (a blood thinner) through its laxative effects.
Ginger Rhizome Extract carries Moderate-severity interactions with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (including warfarin, nifedipine, and phenprocoumon), antidiabetes medications, and several other drug types including lithium, losartan, and drugs processed by your liver (CYP3A4 substrates) or moved by a cellular pump (P-glycoprotein substrates). Sarsaparilla, Stinging Nettle Seed, and Burdock Seed also have documented Moderate interactions, chiefly with lithium, digoxin, blood thinners, diuretics, and antidiabetes drugs.
We could not check Spilanthes Whole Flowering Plant Extract, as we hold no data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 1,058 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Skin Health 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.
Ginger Rhizome Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Ginger may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. However, research is conflicting.
Laboratory research suggests that ginger inhibits thromboxane synthetase and decreases platelet aggregation. However, this has not been demonstrated unequivocally in humans, with mixed results from clinical trials. Theoretically, excessive amounts of ginger might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking ginger with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal and human research suggests that ginger might increase insulin levels and/or decrease blood glucose levels.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Ginger might increase or decrease the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research and some case reports suggest that ginger inhibits CYP3A4 activity. Three case reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) adverse drug reaction database describe increased toxicity in patients taking ginger and cancer medications that are CYP3A4 substrates (imatinib, dabrafenib, and crizotinib). However, the causality of this interaction is unclear due to the presence of multiple interacting drugs and routes of administration.
Conversely, other in vitro research suggests that ginger induces CYP3A4 activity, leading to reduced levels of CYP3A4 substrates. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Losartan (Cozaar)
Theoretically, ginger might increase levels of losartan and the risk of hypotension.
In animal research, ginger increased the levels and hypotensive effects of a single dose of losartan. It is not clear if ginger alters the concentration or effects of losartan when taken continuously. Additionally, this interaction has not been shown in humans.
Nifedipine (Procardia)
Ginger may have antiplatelet effects and increase the risk of bleeding if used with nifedipine.
Clinical research shows that combined treatment with ginger 1 gram plus nifedipine 10 mg significantly inhibits platelet aggregation when compared to nifedipine or ginger alone.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Ginger might increase the absorption and blood levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates.
In vitro research and case reports suggest that ginger inhibits drug efflux by P-gp, potentially increasing absorption and serum levels of P-gp substrates. Two case reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) adverse drug reaction database describe increased toxicity in patients taking ginger and cancer medications that are P-gp substrates (trametinib, crizotinib). However, the causality of this interaction is unclear due to the presence of multiple interacting drugs and routes of administration.
Phenprocoumon (Marcoumar, Others)
Ginger might increase the risk of bleeding with phenprocoumon.
Phenprocoumon, a warfarin-related anticoagulant, might increase the international normalized ratio (INR) when taken with ginger. There is one case report of a 76-year-old woman with a stable INR on phenprocoumon that increased to greater than 10 when she began consuming dried ginger and ginger tea.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Ginger might increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Laboratory research suggests that ginger might inhibit thromboxane synthetase and decrease platelet aggregation. In one case report, ginger increased the INR when taken with phenprocoumon, which has similar pharmacological effects as warfarin. In another case report, ginger increased the INR when taken with a combination of warfarin, hydrochlorothiazide, and acetaminophen. A longitudinal analysis suggests that taking ginger increases the risk of bleeding in patients taking warfarin for at least 4 months. However, research in healthy people suggests that ginger has no effect on INR, or the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of warfarin. Until more is known, monitor INRs closely in patients taking large amounts of ginger.
Calcium Channel Blockers
Theoretically, taking ginger with calcium channel blockers might increase the risk of hypotension.
Some animal and in vitro research suggests that ginger has hypotensive and calcium channel-blocking effects. Another animal study shows that concomitant administration of ginger and the calcium channel blocker amlodipine leads to greater reductions in blood pressure when compared with amlodipine alone.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Theoretically, when taken prior to cyclosporine, ginger might decrease cyclosporine levels.
In an animal model, ginger juice taken 2 hours prior to cyclosporine administration reduced the maximum concentration and area under the curve of cyclosporine by 51% and 40%, respectively. This effect was not observed when ginger juice and cyclosporine were administered at the same time.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, ginger might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ginger inhibits CYP1A2 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates
Theoretically, ginger might increase the levels of CYP2B6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ginger inhibits CYP2B6 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, ginger might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ginger inhibits CYP2C9 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Metronidazole (Flagyl)
Theoretically, ginger might increase levels of metronidazole.
In an animal model, ginger increased the absorption and plasma half-life of metronidazole. In addition, the elimination rate and clearance of metronidazole was significantly reduced.
Stinging Nettle Seed Extract
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.
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.
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.
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.
Burdock Seed Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking burdock with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research shows that lignans from burdock reduce rabbit platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet activating factor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Yellow Dock Root Extract
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of digoxin toxicity when used long-term or in large amount.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur. This might increase the toxic effects of digoxin.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretics.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur, and overuse of yellow dock might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, the laxative effects of yellow dock might increase the effects of warfarin, including the risk of bleeding.
The anthraquinones in yellow dock have a mild stimulant laxative effect. Consuming excessive amounts can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding.
Sarsaparilla Root Extract
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, concomitant use of sarsaparilla with digoxin might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity.
Sarsaparilla is thought to have diuretic properties, which could potentially cause potassium loss. Overuse or misuse of sarsaparilla with cardiac glycoside therapy might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity due to potassium loss.
Lithium
Theoretically, sarsaparilla might increase the effects and adverse effects of lithium.
Sarsaparilla is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these effects, sarsaparilla might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
