HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Lavender by Ra Herbals

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: lavender. It's a liquid form made with cane alcohol and distilled water.

Lavender has been studied for a range of uses, from period pain to anxiety and hair loss, though the strength of evidence varies widely depending on the condition.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Lavender's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Lavender for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Dysmenorrhea — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for lavender is mixed and depends on what you're taking it for. It's possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (period pain).

For cancer-related pain, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective. For other uses — alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), pre-procedural anxiety, and cancer-related fatigue — we don't have enough reliable evidence to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lavender

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.

Orally, lavender is generally well tolerated in food amounts and at larger doses. You may experience breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, burping, headache, or nausea — these are the most common side effects reported.

Topically, it's usually well tolerated, though allergic contact dermatitis (a skin rash) can happen with the oil. Serious side effects are rare, but cases of enlarged breast tissue in prepubertal boys using lavender oil have been reported.

Important note: essential oil is toxic if swallowed, and skin contact can irritate some people. There isn't enough safety data on medicinal amounts in pregnancy and lactation, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 — Lavender.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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're on CNS depressants — sedating drugs like benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium), sleep aids (Ambien, melatonin), or opioid pain relievers. Lavender may intensify drowsiness and sedation.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lavender may help with period pain, though evidence for other uses is limited or unclear. If you take sedating medications — sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, opioids — check with your pharmacist first; lavender could make drowsiness worse.

For most people using it orally, the main concern is mild stomach upset or headache. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about whether this fits your routine.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, lavender might potentiate the therapeutic effects and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Laboratory research suggests that lavender has sedative effects. However, clinical studies in patients taking oral lavender oil (Silexan) 160 mg for 10 weeks or taking lavender flower powder 1 gram daily for 2 months have not reported side effects of drowsiness, sedation, or sleepiness. There is still some concern that higher doses or different preparations of lavender might have additive effects with CNS depressant medications.

Organic Lavender by Ra Herbals: Common Questions

Does Organic Lavender by Ra Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Lavender has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Lavender 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.
What is lavender used for in this product?
Lavender has been studied for several uses. It's possibly effective for period pain. For other conditions like hair loss, anxiety before a procedure, or cancer-related fatigue and pain, we don't have enough solid evidence to say whether it works. Your individual results may vary.
What are the most common side effects?
If you take it by mouth, you might notice breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, burping, headache, or nausea. These are mild and not serious, but they happen in some people. Most users tolerate it well.
Is this safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data for medicinal amounts during pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
Why does the label say essential oil is toxic if swallowed?
Lavender essential oil is a concentrated form and can be harmful if ingested in significant amounts. This liquid product contains lavender in alcohol and water, which is different from pure essential oil, but it's still important to use it as directed and keep it away from children.
Can I take this with my sleep medication?
Lavender may strengthen the sedative effects of sleep aids and other CNS depressants, meaning you could feel more drowsy. Don't add this without checking with your pharmacist first — they can tell you if it's safe with your specific medication and suggest the right timing.
