HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lavender Alcohol Free 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.

This product contains one active ingredient: Lavender Herb Extract, Dry. It's a concentrated form of lavender plant material—the aerial parts (flowers, stems, and leaves).

The extract is mixed with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to make it liquid and stable.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Lavender's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Relaxation and calming support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Perioperative anxiety, Pre-procedural anxiety, Stress, Psychological well-being, Sleep quality — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lavender is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Pre-procedural anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lavender is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress, Psychological well-being, Perioperative anxiety.

The evidence for lavender is mixed. It's possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful periods), but possibly ineffective for cancer-related pain.

For alopecia (hair loss), pre-procedural anxiety, and cancer-related fatigue, we don't have enough reliable evidence to know whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lavender

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.

Orally, lavender herb extract is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild and include breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, belching, headache, and nausea.

Allergic contact dermatitis can occur with lavender oil on skin. Rare serious effects have been reported—notably gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue) in prepubertal boys using lavender oil—though these are uncommon.

The safety data overall is not robust, and essential oil lavender is toxic if swallowed. Because you're using an alcohol-free extract liquid, confirm with your pharmacist that the preparation and dose you're taking is appropriate for you.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation is not well studied; talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lavender

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lavender.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take any CNS depressants—sleep aids, sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs, or opioid pain relievers—double-check with your pharmacist before starting this product. The moderate interaction means lavender might strengthen both the benefit and the side effects of these medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lavender extract may help with painful periods, but evidence for other uses is weak or unknown. If you take a CNS depressant (sleeping pill, sedative, or opioid pain reliever), check with your pharmacist first—the combination could amplify drowsiness or other effects.

Otherwise, it's generally well tolerated, though headache and mild digestive upset can occur.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, lavender might potentiate the therapeutic effects and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Laboratory research suggests that lavender has sedative effects. However, clinical studies in patients taking oral lavender oil (Silexan) 160 mg for 10 weeks or taking lavender flower powder 1 gram daily for 2 months have not reported side effects of drowsiness, sedation, or sleepiness. There is still some concern that higher doses or different preparations of lavender might have additive effects with CNS depressant medications.

Lavender Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Lavender Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lavender Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lavender Alcohol Free 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.
Will lavender help my period pain?
Possibly. Lavender is rated possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful periods), so there's some evidence it may help, but it's not proven. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your situation.
What are the most common side effects?
Orally, the most likely side effects are mild: breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, belching, headache, and nausea. Most people tolerate it well, but these can happen.
Is lavender safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Safety in pregnancy and lactation isn't well studied. There's not enough data to know whether it's safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking medicinal amounts.
Can lavender help with anxiety before a procedure?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to know whether lavender works for pre-procedural anxiety. The data isn't established, so ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it's worth trying in your case.
Why does this say 'alcohol free' if lavender tincture has alcohol?
This product uses an alcohol-free extract—the lavender is concentrated and suspended in glycerin and water instead. It avoids the alcohol found in traditional lavender tinctures.
