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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea) dried herb liquid extract. It's a liquid formulation made using a menstruum (the liquid medium used to extract the herb's compounds).
Ground Ivy has been used traditionally for various purposes, though the evidence supporting most of those uses isn't well established.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The only effectiveness rating we have for Ground Ivy is for sunburn — and the evidence there is insufficient to say whether it actually works. We don't hold effectiveness data for other traditional uses of this herb.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Ground Ivy is generally well tolerated when applied to skin or taken by mouth, though a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed. When applied topically, some people report itching and stinging, especially in the first two weeks of use — these effects often go away with continued treatment.
The main caution is that high doses or the essential oil form may be harmful, and the safety data overall are limited. Ground Ivy has traditionally been used to affect menstruation, so it should be avoided in pregnancy — the safety data rate it as likely unsafe.
There isn't enough information to recommend it while breastfeeding either.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That doesn't mean interactions don't exist — it means we haven't found them — so run your exact medications through the checker below before you start.
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.
This product is best discussed with your pharmacist or doctor before you start, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking other medications, or considering it for an active health issue. The limited safety information and historical use in menstruation make it important to get personalized advice.
