HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hawaiian Chai Shiso by Maui Medicinal
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
Hawaiian Chai Shiso contains one active ingredient: dried shiso, also known as perilla. Shiso is an herb used in traditional medicine and Asian cuisine.
This product has no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The effectiveness of shiso for any of the conditions listed — age-related cognitive decline, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, and headache — hasn't been established in reliable evidence. The data we hold shows insufficient evidence to rate it for any of these uses.
If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, that's a conversation worth having with your doctor or pharmacist.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Shiso is generally well tolerated when used as a food. However, supplement-strength products made from shiso haven't been well studied, so the full safety picture isn't clear.
The most commonly reported side effect from topical use is dermatitis (skin irritation). Rarely, people who've consumed perilla seeds have experienced anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction), and some people can develop occupational asthma from breathing in smoke from roasted perilla seeds — so if you have a known perilla or sesame allergy, be cautious.
There isn't enough safety data to know whether this product is safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the shiso in this product. That doesn't mean none could occur — the herb simply hasn't been extensively studied alongside medications.
If you take any prescription or over-the-counter drugs, check them with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this tea to your routine.
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.
Hawaiian Chai Shiso is a single-herb supplement that's generally well tolerated as a food form, but its effectiveness for any specific health condition hasn't been proven in reliable studies. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of perilla or sesame allergies, or take regular medications, run this by your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
It's worth confirming with your own healthcare provider that it's a good fit for your situation.
