HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pink Yarrow 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 Achillea millefolium (yarrow) at a 1:6000 ratio. It's made with water and brandy as inactive ingredients (the brandy acts as a preservative).

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 Yarrow product and its label doesn't state a use — see Yarrow'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 yarrow in this form isn't established in the data we hold. Effectiveness for tonsillitis, wound healing, eczema (atopic dermatitis), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and yeast infections (vaginal candidiasis) is rated insufficient reliable evidence, meaning we don't have solid data yet on whether it works for these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

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.

Taken by mouth or applied inside the vagina, yarrow is generally well tolerated, though allergic reactions can occur. When applied to skin, it can cause dermatitis, hives (urticaria), or sun-related skin reactions due to compounds called sesquiterpene lactones; it may also trigger airway symptoms like rhinitis or asthma from handling the flowers.

Yarrow is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus — do not use it if you're pregnant. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so avoid it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

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 — Yarrow.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 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 lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — it may increase lithium levels and require a dose adjustment.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is a flower essence with limited human safety data and no established evidence for the conditions it's traditionally used for. If you take lithium, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Anyone with a history of allergies — especially to plants in the daisy family — should be cautious, and pregnant or breastfeeding people should avoid it.

Animal research shows that yarrow has diuretic activity. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, yarrow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
