HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nasturtium 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.

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 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: an infusion of Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) flower at a 1:6000 concentration. The liquid base includes water and brandy as inactive ingredients.

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 Nasturtium product and its label doesn't state a use — see Nasturtium'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 nasturtium flower essence in treating respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs) is insufficient to rate — we don't have reliable data on whether it actually works for these purposes. If you're considering it for either condition, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the science supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Nasturtium

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.

Nasturtium is generally considered safe as a food, but concentrated extracts like this one have limited safety data. In large amounts taken by mouth, nasturtium can irritate your stomach and digestive tract, and very large amounts carry a risk of kidney damage (albuminuria).

Applied to the skin, the plant and its oils can cause skin irritation and allergic contact dermatitis in some people. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information — medicinal amounts are best avoided.

Safety during breastfeeding isn't well studied either, so caution is advised. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Nasturtium

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we checked. That said, it's smart to confirm with your own pharmacist or doctor that it won't interfere with anything you're taking.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a single-ingredient flower essence with no documented medication interactions in our data, though that's not a guarantee none exist. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any regular medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

For respiratory or urinary infections, the evidence for whether it actually works is too weak to call it.

Nasturtium Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services: Common Questions

Does Nasturtium Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Nasturtium Flower Essence. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nasturtium Flower Essence 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?
During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information, and medicinal amounts are best avoided. Safety during breastfeeding isn't well studied either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What are the side effects?
In large amounts by mouth, nasturtium can irritate your stomach and digestive tract. Very large doses carry a risk of kidney damage. Applied to skin, it can cause irritation and allergic reactions like contact dermatitis in some people.
Does nasturtium flower essence actually work for respiratory or urinary tract infections?
The evidence is insufficient to say whether it's effective for either condition. We don't have reliable data to support its use. Talk with your doctor about whether this makes sense for your situation.
Is this the same as nasturtium the food?
Nasturtium as a food is generally considered safe, but this product is a concentrated extract with limited safety data. The concentrated form carries different risks than eating it fresh.
