HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Namaste Cherry + Lavender by Oregon's Wild Harvest

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Biodynamic & Organic Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (985 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid contains 4 active ingredients: skullcap, fresh lemon balm, fresh oats, and fresh passionflower, delivered in a base of organic alcohol, organic glycerin, organic cherry juice concentrate, organic lavender flower extract, and distilled water. The cherry and lavender are there for flavor and aroma; the main active components are the four herbal ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: relaxation and stress relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Stress, Insomnia, Pre-procedural anxiety, nervous tension, restlessness — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lemon Balm is rated "Possibly Effective" for Stress (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Passion Flower is rated "Possibly Effective" for Pre-procedural anxiety, Insomnia.
  • Also on file: Lemon Balm is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety, Insomnia.

Oats in this product are likely effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) and heart health (coronary heart disease support). Lemon balm and passionflower are each possibly effective for stress and for lemon balm specifically, possibly effective for cold sores — though the evidence is modest.

Skullcap is included for traditional use, but the evidence isn't established for the conditions it's been used for: epilepsy, stress, stroke, spasticity, contact dermatitis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Skullcap Lemon Balm Oats Passion Flower

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oats are generally well tolerated and considered safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding when eaten as food; concentrated oat supplements are less studied. The other three ingredients present safety concerns.

Skullcap should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. Lemon balm is best avoided in pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise, and caution is recommended while breastfeeding.

Passionflower is possibly unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided, and it's best avoided while breastfeeding. All four ingredients can cause drowsiness — skullcap and passionflower at higher doses, lemon balm occasionally, and passionflower also commonly causes dizziness or confusion.

The most common side effects from oats are bloating, gas, and abdominal distension from its fiber content; digestive disturbances have been reported with skullcap at higher doses.

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?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lemon Balm, Oats, Passion Flower, Skullcap.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 928 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.

Check before taking this product if you use sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, or any other CNS depressants (including pain relievers like opioids) — skullcap, lemon balm, and passionflower may all add to sedation. If you take thyroid hormone replacement therapy, lemon balm might interfere with how well it works.

If you take diabetes medications or insulin, oats can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Additionally, if you take medications that rely on liver enzymes (CYP3A4) or certain transporters (OATP) to work, passionflower may affect them — talk with your pharmacist about your specific drugs.

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.

This product might appeal to you if you're managing stress or looking for heart-health support from oats, and you don't take sedating medications or thyroid, diabetes, or insulin therapy. If you take any CNS depressants, thyroid hormone, blood-sugar-lowering drugs, or insulin, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — the ingredients carry real interaction and safety concerns.

The herbal blend is generally well tolerated at recommended doses for short-term use, but because product quality varies and long-term safety isn't well studied, use it with care and check in with your own healthcare provider about whether it's right for you.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Namaste Cherry + Lavender with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

fresh Passionflower3 drug types · 836 drugs

Cns Depressants

Concomitant use of passion flower with sedative drugs might cause additive effects and side effects.
Research in animals and humans shows that passion flower has sedative effects which can be additive when used with sedative medications like lorazepam.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, passion flower might decrease the effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that passion flower can induce CYP3A4 enzymes, albeit to a much lower degree than rifampin, a known CYP3A4 inducer.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Theoretically, passion flower might reduce the bioavailability of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the passion flower constituents apigenin and vitexin inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2. This inhibition may be dose-dependent. One specific high-flavonoid passion flower extract (Valverde) seems to inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2, while another extract with a lower flavonoid concentration (Arkocaps) shows less potent inhibition. OATPs are responsible for the uptake of drugs and other compounds into the body; however, the specific activities of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 are not well characterized.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

fresh Lemon Balm2 drug types · 264 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Skullcap1 drug type · 248 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, skullcap can have additive effects when used with other CNS depressants.
Animal and clinical research suggests that skullcap can cause sedation and cognitive impairment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

fresh Oats2 drug types · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oats may have additive effects with antidiabetic agents and might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Consuming oats can decrease blood glucose in patients with diabetes. In those who require insulin, taking oats 100 grams daily for 2 days reduces the insulin dose required to achieve metabolic control.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Insulin

Concomitant use of oats and insulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In patients with insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, taking oats 100 grams daily for 2 days reduces the insulin dose required to achieve metabolic control.

Namaste Cherry + Lavender by Oregon's Wild Harvest: Common Questions

Does Namaste Cherry + Lavender by Oregon's Wild Harvest interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Namaste Cherry + Lavender has a known interaction with 927 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Namaste Cherry + Lavender contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 make me drowsy?
Yes, possibly. Skullcap, lemon balm, and passionflower all have sedating properties, and passionflower commonly causes drowsiness and dizziness. If you're sensitive to sedation or plan to drive or operate machinery, start cautiously and see how you respond.
Is it safe to take while pregnant?
No. Passionflower is possibly unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided; skullcap and lemon balm are best avoided as well due to insufficient safety data, though lemon balm may be used if your doctor advises otherwise. Oats are generally safe as food in pregnancy, but concentrated oat supplements are less studied. Talk with your doctor before taking this product if you're pregnant.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?
Safety information is limited. Skullcap and passionflower should be avoided while breastfeeding; lemon balm requires caution and discussion with your doctor; oats eaten as food are generally safe, but supplement forms are less studied. Ask your pharmacist or doctor about using this product while nursing.
Can this help with stress?
Lemon balm and passionflower are each possibly effective for stress based on available evidence, so there is some basis for this use. Skullcap is traditionally used for stress, but evidence for it isn't established yet. Individual results vary, and this product works best as part of a broader stress-management plan.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common are drowsiness, dizziness, and confusion — especially with passionflower. Oats can cause bloating, gas, and abdominal distension from their fiber content. Digestive upset has been reported with skullcap at higher doses. These effects are usually mild and tend to ease with continued use.
Does this interact with my blood sugar or diabetes medication?
Yes. Oats can lower blood sugar and may add to the effects of diabetes medications or insulin, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If you use these drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — your medication dose may need adjustment.
