HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ground Ivy by Herbal Terra

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

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea) dried herb liquid extract. It's a liquid formulation, which means the herb has been extracted into a liquid form for easier dosing.

The menstruum listed is the liquid medium used to extract and deliver the herb.

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

This is a single-ingredient Ground Ivy product and its label doesn't state a use — see Ground Ivy's own graded uses on its monograph.

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 Ground Ivy to prevent or treat sunburn is not established enough to rate. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works for this or other uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ground Ivy

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Ground Ivy is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth or applied to skin. Some people report itching and stinging when applying it topically — these side effects showed up in the first two weeks of treatment in some cases but went away with continued use.

The safety data on this herb are limited, though, and high doses or the essential oil form may be harmful. Ground Ivy is traditionally used to affect menstruation, so it should be avoided in pregnancy.

There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding — talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Ground Ivy is generally well tolerated by mouth and on skin, though some people report early itching or stinging. Because of its traditional use to affect the menstrual cycle, it's not safe in pregnancy, and there's not enough data to recommend it while nursing.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, skip it and talk to your pharmacist.

Ground Ivy by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Ground Ivy by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Ground Ivy. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ground Ivy contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 use Ground Ivy if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — Ground Ivy is traditionally used to affect menstruation and is considered likely unsafe in pregnancy. There isn't enough safety data to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Will my skin sting if I put this on?
Some people report itching and stinging when they apply Ground Ivy topically, especially in the first two weeks. In the cases we have data for, these side effects went away as treatment continued.
Is Ground Ivy safe at high doses?
High doses or the essential oil form of Ground Ivy may be harmful. The safety data on this herb are limited, so stick to the dose on the label and talk with your pharmacist if you have questions about dosing.
Does Ground Ivy work for sunburn?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for sunburn or other uses.
