HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Joy Tonic by Urban Moonshine
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
Joy Tonic has six active ingredients in liquid form. Motherwort, linden, lemon balm, lemongrass, and mugwort are all plant extracts; there's also a rose petal extract.
The product is preserved with water and organic alcohol — the alcohol content will depend on the dose you take. Each of these plants is traditionally used to support relaxation and emotional well-being, though the evidence and proven benefits vary by ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Lemon balm is possibly effective for cold sores and stress, and possibly effective for depression. The other ingredients' effectiveness ratings are less clear: motherwort's use in bleeding is possibly effective, but its benefits for anxiety, amenorrhea, and alcohol use disorder lack reliable evidence.
Linden, lemongrass, and mugwort all have insufficient evidence for the conditions they're traditionally used for — which means the research just isn't there yet, not that they don't work.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Motherwort is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus and should be avoided in pregnancy. The safety data on it are limited; when taken by mouth, the most common side effects are diarrhea and stomach irritation.
Doses over 3 grams may cause uterine bleeding. Lemongrass and mugwort are also considered likely unsafe in pregnancy.
Linden is generally well tolerated as a tea, though one person reported an allergic reaction to linden pollen. Lemon balm is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high doses and long-term safety aren't well studied; it should be avoided in pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise, and you should talk to your doctor before using it while breastfeeding.
Mugwort can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed — symptoms can range from rash to asthma to anaphylaxis. We have no safety data on file for linden or lemongrass during breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check CNS depressants (sleep aids, opioids, anxiety medications) — motherwort and lemon balm are both Moderate interactions. Check lithium levels if you take it; linden may affect how your body handles it.
Look up any medications your liver breaks down, especially those using the CYP3A4 pathway — lemongrass may slow their clearance. Avoid pentobarbital with this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take a CNS depressant (sedative, opioid, or certain antidepressants), take lithium, or take any medication metabolized by your liver, check your exact drugs with the tool on this page before starting. Avoid Joy Tonic in pregnancy.
Talk to your pharmacist if you have ragweed allergies or are breastfeeding.

Joy Tonic by Urban Moonshine Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Joy Tonic by Urban Moonshine contains six ingredients, five of which we could check for interactions with medications.
Altogether, these interactions span 848 individual medications. The most serious documented interaction involves lemon balm and CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, opioids, antidepressants) — a Moderate interaction where lemon balm's own sedating properties could add to theirs and increase drowsiness.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Motherwort also interacts with CNS depressants at Moderate severity. Linden may increase lithium levels and side effects if you take that mood stabilizer.
Lemongrass can theoretically slow the breakdown of certain medications metabolized by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme (Moderate severity), speed up clearance of drugs processed through glucuronidation (Moderate severity), and strengthen the effects of pentobarbital, a sedative barbiturate (Moderate severity). We could not check rose petal extract.
Mugwort, the sixth ingredient, has no interactions documented in our data — though that's not a guarantee none exist.

org. Lemongrass extract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, lemongrass might decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
Animal research shows that lemongrass and its constituent citral inhibit CYP3A4.
Glucuronidated Drugs
Theoretically, lemongrass might increase the clearance and decrease the levels of glucuronidated drugs.
Animal research shows that lemongrass and its constituent citral induce uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase (UGT), the major phase 2 enzyme that is responsible for glucuronidation.
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)
Theoretically, lemongrass might increase the effects and adverse effects of pentobarbital.
Animal research shows that high doses of lemongrass essential oil increases sleep time and decreases time to fall asleep in animals administered pentobarbital.
org. Lemon Balm leaf extract
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of lemon balm might have additive effects with CNS depressant drugs.
Lemon balm seems to have CNS depressant activity in animals and in humans.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, lemon balm might interfere with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
In vitro, constituents of lemon balm extract bind to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), preventing TSH receptor-binding and leading to the inhibition of TSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. In animals, lemon balm extract has been shown to decrease levels of circulating TSH and inhibit thyroid secretion.
organic Motherwort leaf and flower extract
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking motherwort concomitantly with other CNS depressants may increase the risk of sedation.
Motherwort has been reported to cause CNS depression and sedation.
org. Linden leaf and flower extract
Lithium
Theoretically, due to its potential diuretic effects, linden might increase the effects and adverse effects of lithium.
