HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Heartsease 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.

Heartsease by Herbal Terra is a liquid extract made from the dried leaf and flower of the heartsease plant. The product contains one active ingredient and menstruum (the liquid carrier used to make the extract).

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 Heart's Ease product and its label doesn't state a use — see Heart's Ease'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 we hold on heartsease is not established. For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atopic dermatitis (eczema, a skin condition where your immune system overreacts to irritants), there is insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it's ineffective—it means the quality or quantity of research available doesn't yet let us draw a firm conclusion.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Heart's Ease

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.

Heartsease seems to be generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. However, high-quality safety data are limited, and the safety profile is based mainly on traditional use.

One important caution: the herb caused hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells) in a nine-month-old infant who had glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, a genetic condition affecting how cells handle certain substances. If you or a family member has this condition, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

Because there isn't enough safety information, heartsease is best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

That said, absence of documented interactions is not a guarantee none exist—talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any medications regularly and want to confirm this product won't interfere with them.

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.

Heartsease by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Heartsease by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Heartsease. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Heartsease 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 take Heartsease during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No, it's best avoided. There isn't enough safety information to know either way, so the safety data advises against it in both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing and want to discuss your options.
What is heartsease used for?
Heartsease has been used traditionally for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD—a long-term lung condition) and atopic dermatitis (eczema, an itchy skin condition). However, we don't yet have enough reliable evidence to say whether it actually works for these purposes.
Is Heartsease safe for someone with G6PD deficiency?
Heartsease caused hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells) in a nine-month-old with this genetic condition. If you or a family member has G6PD deficiency, don't take this product without talking to your doctor first.
What are the side effects of Heartsease?
Heartsease is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth in most people. The main caution is that rare case of hemolysis in an infant with G6PD deficiency mentioned above—a serious concern if you have that condition.
