HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lemon Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services
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
Lemon Flower Essence contains one active ingredient: an infusion of Lemon (Citrus limon), prepared at a 1:6000 concentration. The liquid form also includes water and brandy as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold does not establish how well lemon essence works for any condition. It's been used traditionally for hay fever, anxiety, respiratory tract infections, high blood pressure, and kidney stones, but the data available rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence to make a recommendation either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lemon as a food or drink is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. However, when fresh lemon juice is taken in larger medicinal doses — such as 60 mL twice daily — gastrointestinal side effects become more common.
In one clinical trial, 37% of people taking that amount reported gastrointestinal disturbances (including 21% with heartburn and 8% with stomach pain, or epigastralgia), compared to 8% in the placebo group. Concentrated supplements or essential oils of lemon have not been well studied and should be cleared with your doctor before use.
The product facts do not include pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data for lemon; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is appropriate for you during pregnancy or while nursing.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
Check before taking this product if you use itraconazole (Sporanox) — a Minor interaction exists. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we hold data on.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is generally well tolerated at the dilute concentration in flower essences, though little evidence establishes what it actually does. The main concern is its interaction with itraconazole — if you take that medication, check with your pharmacist first.
For any other prescription medications, search them on this page before starting. Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your situation.
