HelloPharmacist Scorecard of HII-W by Pure Herbs
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
Pure Herbs HII-W is a liquid supplement with four active ingredients. Lobelia aerial parts extract, thyme leaf extract, yellow dock root extract, and red raspberry leaf extract make up the blend.
There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.
Does it work?
Not established
The effectiveness evidence for these ingredients is limited. Lobelia is rated possibly ineffective for smoking cessation.
For thyme, raspberry leaf, and yellow dock, the evidence we hold does not establish effectiveness for common uses—claims about bronchitis, skin health, hair loss, colds, cardiovascular health, heart failure, or diabetes lack reliable data to support them.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lobelia carries serious toxicity concerns, especially at higher doses, and is unsafe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Yellow dock is meant for short-term use only, acts as a laxative, and should be avoided during pregnancy and nursing.
Thyme is generally well tolerated in food amounts and likely safe in pregnancy, but medicinal or essential-oil doses need medical approval. Raspberry leaf is likely safe in pregnancy and generally well tolerated, though safety while breastfeeding is not established.
All four can cause gastrointestinal upset, and lobelia in particular can trigger nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, throat irritation, dizziness, and tremors even at low doses.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you use digoxin (Lanoxin), diuretic drugs, blood thinners (anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs), insulin, lithium, hormone replacement therapy containing estrogens, or anticholinergic or cholinergic medications. Yellow dock and lobelia carry the highest-severity risks; confirm your exact medications are safe to combine.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product carries significant interactions with heart, diabetes, and blood-thinning medications, and its ingredients—particularly lobelia and yellow dock—have serious toxicity risks at higher doses. If you take digoxin, diuretics, blood thinners, insulin, or lithium, or if you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

For each ingredient in HII-W 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.
Thyme Leaf Extract
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of anticholinergic drugs and thyme essential oil might reduce the effects of anticholinergic drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that thyme essential oil and specific essential oil constituents like thymohydroquinone and carvacrol can inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE). However, this effect has not been observed in humans.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, thyme leaf extract might have additive effects with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that thyme leaf extract has antiplatelet effects. However, this effect has not been observed in humans.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of cholinergic drugs and thyme essential oil might cause additive cholinergic effects.
In vitro evidence suggests that thyme essential oil and specific essential oil constituents like thymohydroquinone and carvacrol can inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE). However, this effect has not been observed in humans.
Estrogens
Theoretically, thyme might competitively inhibit the effects of estrogen replacement therapy.
In vitro research shows that thyme has estrogen receptor-binding activity and phytoestrogen content. However, this effect has not been observed in humans.
Raspberry Leaf Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking red raspberry leaf with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that red raspberry leaf extract has antiplatelet activity and enhances the in vitro effects of the antiplatelet medication cangrelor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Insulin
Red raspberry leaf might reduce glucose levels in patients being treated with insulin.
In one case report, a 38-year-old patient with gestational diabetes, whose blood glucose was being controlled with medical nutrition therapy and insulin, developed hypoglycemia after consuming two servings of raspberry leaf tea daily for 3 days beginning at 32 weeks' gestation. The patient required an insulin dose reduction. The hypoglycemia was considered to be probably related to use of red raspberry leaf tea.
Yellow Dock root extract
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of digoxin toxicity when used long-term or in large amount.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur. This might increase the toxic effects of digoxin.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretics.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur, and overuse of yellow dock might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, the laxative effects of yellow dock might increase the effects of warfarin, including the risk of bleeding.
The anthraquinones in yellow dock have a mild stimulant laxative effect. Consuming excessive amounts can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding.
Lobelia Aerial Parts Extract
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.
