HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lemon Verbena 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.

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: a certified organic lemon verbena leaf liquid extract. Menstruum is listed as an inactive ingredient — a liquid base used to prepare and preserve 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 Lemon Verbena product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lemon Verbena'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 for lemon verbena isn't established in our data. We hold effectiveness ratings for joint pain, multiple sclerosis, and exercise-induced muscle damage, but all are rated insufficient reliable evidence — meaning the research so far isn't strong enough to say whether it works for those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Verbena

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.

Lemon verbena extract appears generally well tolerated when used as a tea or food. However, concentrated extracts like this one and the essential oil are less well studied.

The safety data advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough evidence to know it's safe at those times, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing. Topically, contact dermatitis can occur in some people.

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 — Lemon Verbena.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 22 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 benzodiazepines — medications like diazepam, lorazepam, or alprazolam for anxiety or seizures — check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. The combination may increase sedation and slow your breathing.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lemon Verbena has a known interaction with 22 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lemon Verbena 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against medicinal amounts of lemon verbena during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough evidence to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it at these times.
What is lemon verbena used for?
