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 a single active ingredient: certified organic Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citriodora) in dried leaf liquid extract form. Menstruum is listed as an inactive ingredient (a solvent used in the extraction process).

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 is not yet established in our data. We hold effectiveness ratings for joint pain, multiple sclerosis, and exercise-induced muscle damage, but all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That means we don't have enough high-quality research yet to say whether it works for these 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 is generally well tolerated when used as a tea or food flavoring. The extract and essential oil seem to be well tolerated orally and topically, though concentrated forms are less studied than everyday culinary use.

Contact dermatitis (an itchy rash) may occur with topical application in some people. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There isn't enough safety data to recommend medicinal amounts during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lemon Verbena by Herbal Terra is generally well tolerated as an extract, but it's not established whether it's effective for joint pain, muscle damage, or MS. The main caution is with benzodiazepines, where it may boost sedation.

If you take any medications—especially sedatives—check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Lemon Verbena by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Lemon Verbena by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
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.
Will this help my joint pain?
We don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether lemon verbena works for joint pain. The data we hold shows insufficient evidence to rate it for that use.
Is lemon verbena safe to use topically?
The extract seems well tolerated when applied to skin, but contact dermatitis—an itchy rash—can occur in some people. If you notice redness or irritation, stop use and rinse the area.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to recommend medicinal amounts during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation and whether this product is appropriate for you.
Is this just lemon verbena tea, or something different?
This is a concentrated liquid extract, not the dried herb you'd steep as tea. Concentrated extracts are less studied than everyday use, so the safety profile is a bit different.
