HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Eucalyptus and Spearmint Alcohol Free by Hawaii 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 30, 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 2 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.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: eucalyptus leaf extract (dried) and spearmint leaf extract (dried). Both are concentrated plant extracts in liquid form.

The product also holds glycerin and water as inactive ingredients — these are standard carriers and stabilizers, not active components.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for what eucalyptus and spearmint do in this product isn't established in our data. For eucalyptus, we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for acne, bronchitis, asthma, burns, and cancer.

For spearmint, the same applies to age-related cognitive decline, cognitive function, flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), postoperative nausea and vomiting, and osteoarthritis. If you're considering this for a specific condition, talk it over with your doctor to see what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Eucalyptus Spearmint

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Orally, both ingredients are generally well tolerated in food or tea amounts. Eucalyptus in diluted form is mild, but the undiluted oil can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting; serious toxicity — including seizures, coma, and respiratory collapse — is rare but documented with undiluted oil doses as low as 1 mL.

Spearmint is well tolerated by mouth, though topical or inhaled exposure can trigger allergic skin reactions in sensitive people. Neither ingredient has much reliable safety data in concentrated supplement form, so check with your doctor before starting if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a seizure history.

The product is rated likely safe in pregnancy and likely safe in lactation based on the spearmint data we hold, but eucalyptus safety in pregnancy and lactation is not on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Eucalyptus Spearmint

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Eucalyptus, Spearmint.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,158 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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take diabetes medications (eucalyptus may lower blood sugar further), drugs broken down by your liver's cytochrome P450 system (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 substrates — eucalyptus may raise their blood levels), nervous system depressants like sleep aids or sedatives (spearmint may alter how they work), drugs that can damage your liver (spearmint may add to that risk), amphetamines, or pentobarbital (eucalyptus may make them less effective).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is a liquid extract blend with two ingredients that have theoretical moderate interactions with a large number of medications — mainly those processed by your liver and diabetes, nervous system, and liver-injury drugs. The effectiveness evidence for these ingredients isn't established in our data.

If you take prescription medications, especially for blood sugar control, sedation, or liver-metabolized drugs, check your list with the tool on this page before starting. Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your health picture.

Animal research suggests that inhaling eucalyptol may reduce the levels of amphetamines in the blood.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, eucalyptus leaf might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that eucalyptus leaf might have hypoglycemic activity, and might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eucalyptus oil might inhibit CYP1A2, although this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eucalyptus oil might inhibit CYP2C19, although this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.

Spearmint Leaf Extract, Dry2 drug types · 579 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, spearmint might alter the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research suggests that (-)-carvone, a major constituent of spearmint, has sedative effects. However, in humans, chewing spearmint-flavored gum induced arousal effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, high doses of spearmint might increase the risk of liver damage when taken with hepatotoxic drugs.
Animal research suggests that drinking spearmint tea for 30 days can increase markers of liver damage, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and cause liver degeneration and necrosis, in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Eucalyptus and Spearmint Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Eucalyptus and Spearmint Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Eucalyptus and Spearmint Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 1,157 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Eucalyptus and Spearmint Alcohol Free contains 2 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 to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Spearmint in this product is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation based on our data. Eucalyptus safety data during pregnancy and lactation isn't on file, so there isn't enough information to know either way. Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist — they can weigh the details of your pregnancy or nursing situation and help you decide.
Can I inhale this or do I have to swallow it?
The product facts we have focus on the ingredient risks, which vary by how you use it — inhaled, swallowed, or applied to skin. Check the product label for the intended use and instructions. Undiluted eucalyptus oil is toxic if swallowed, so follow the label closely and talk to your pharmacist if you're not sure how to use this liquid extract safely.
Will this help with my asthma or bronchitis?
We don't have reliable evidence to rate eucalyptus for asthma or bronchitis. A rare allergic reaction — worsening asthma and nasal symptoms — has been reported in one person who consumed eucalyptus. If you have asthma or are considering this for a breathing condition, talk with your doctor about what's actually proven to help.
What are the most common side effects if I take this?
Eucalyptus taken by mouth can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Spearmint is well tolerated orally. Topical or inhaled exposure to either can cause skin irritation, itching, burning, or allergic reactions in sensitive people. Serious effects like seizures or nervous system depression are rare but documented with undiluted eucalyptus oil.
Can this hurt my liver?
Animal studies suggest that high doses of spearmint tea over time may stress the liver. If you're taking drugs that already damage the liver, spearmint might add to that risk. Check with your doctor, especially if you have liver disease or take hepatotoxic medications.
