HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fungus-Ease by Earth Friend Herb Co.
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
Fungus-Ease contains 8 ingredients total. The active ones — Irish Moss, hydrangea, black walnut, burdock, lobelia, and Iceland moss — are all herbs.
Irish Moss and Iceland Moss are seaweed-derived and traditionally used to soothe the respiratory tract. Black walnut, burdock, and lobelia round out the blend.
The product also contains two inactive ingredients: alcohol and glycerin, which serve as the liquid base and preservative.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for most ingredients in this product isn't well established. Black walnut, burdock, Iceland moss, and Irish Moss don't have enough reliable evidence in our data to rate them for any specific condition.
Lobelia, on the other hand, is rated Possibly Ineffective for smoking cessation. We hold no effectiveness data for hydrangea.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Hydrangea can cause stomach irritation, dizziness, and chest tightness in some people. Black walnut — depending on which part is used — may cause stomach upset due to high tannin content; there's also a historical link between daily use of related walnut species and tongue cancer risk.
Burdock is generally well tolerated as a food but can rarely trigger allergic reactions or skin sensitivity, especially with prolonged use. Lobelia carries the strongest caution: it can be toxic even at modest doses, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, and at high doses, serious effects like convulsions, low blood pressure, and death.
Iceland moss is usually tolerated short-term but can irritate the stomach and may contain lead if contaminated. During pregnancy, the data advises against hydrangea, black walnut, burdock, and lobelia due to lack of safety information or toxicity concerns.
Lobelia is specifically rated Likely Unsafe in pregnancy. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data to know if it's safe for hydrangea, black walnut, burdock, and Iceland moss — talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
Lobelia should be avoided while breastfeeding due to potential toxicity.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist if you take lithium (mood stabilizer) — hydrangea and lobelia may raise its levels. Also double-check if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, since burdock theoretically may increase bleeding risk.
We have no interaction data for Irish Moss.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a multi-herb blend best suited to short-term use by people not taking lithium or blood thinners. If you take any prescription medication — especially mood stabilizers or anticoagulants — check with your pharmacist first.
Pregnant or breastfeeding people should discuss it with their doctor before starting.

Fungus-Ease by Earth Friend Herb Co. Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Fungus-Ease by Earth Friend Herb Co. does interact with certain medications.
The most serious concern is with lithium — both hydrangea and lobelia have diuretic properties that could theoretically reduce how your body clears lithium, raising its blood levels and potentially requiring a dose adjustment.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Burdock poses a Moderate risk with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs — lab research suggests it may slow platelet clumping, which in theory could increase bleeding risk, though this hasn't been reported in people yet. Altogether, these interactions span 123 individual medications.
We couldn't check Irish Moss — we hold no safety or interaction data for it. All other ingredients we checked showed no documented interactions beyond those named above.
That said, no documented interactions is not a guarantee none exist. Run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page before you start.

For each ingredient in Fungus-Ease 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.
Burdock
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.
Irish Moss
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, combining sea moss with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels. Concomitant use with sea moss, which contains approximately 4-7 mcg of iodine per gram, might increase the risk of adverse effects from iodine, including altered thyroid function.
Antithyroid Drugs
Due to its iodine content, sea moss might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Sea moss contains approximately 4-7 mcg of iodine per gram. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking sea moss could theoretically alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Thyroid Hormone
Due to its iodine content, sea moss might alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Sea moss contains approximately 4-7 mcg of iodine per gram. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking sea moss could theoretically alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Hydrangea
Lithium
Hydrangea is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, hydrangea might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Lobelia
Lithium
Lobelia is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, lobelia might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
