HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Post-Trauma Stabilizer 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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Post-Trauma Stabilizer contains 14 ingredients, most of them flower essences and plant extracts. The active ingredients here are Rock Rose (Helianthemum nummularium), Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), Arnica (Arnica mollis), Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium), Traveler's Joy (Clematis vitalba), Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum), English Lavender essential oil, Yarrow essential oil, and Hyssop (Hyssop decumbens essential oil), along with five other plant materials.
The liquid is carried in water and brandy (inactive ingredients).
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for this product's ingredients is sparse. Arnica is rated possibly effective for osteoarthritis, and lavender is rated possibly effective for painful periods (dysmenorrhea).
For the other active ingredients and conditions this product might target—anxiety, athletic performance, ADHD, wound healing, urinary tract infections, and others—the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate their effectiveness. That doesn't mean they don't work; it means good human studies are lacking or the research is too limited to draw firm conclusions.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Most of these ingredients are generally well tolerated in the amounts typically used, but there are important cautions. Echinacea can cause stomach upset, rashes, and allergic reactions—especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants.
Rare cases of echinacea-related liver inflammation have been reported. Arnica is unsafe to swallow undiluted and can cause serious toxicity including bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and in rare cases arrhythmia and death; this product's dilute form is lower-risk but lacks robust safety studies.
Star of Bethlehem contains toxic cardiac glycosides and can cause serious heart rhythm problems and death. Lavender is generally well tolerated but the essential oil is toxic if swallowed, and topical contact can irritate skin in some people.
Yarrow can cause allergic skin reactions and rashes. Hyssop's essential oil can cause seizures at high doses.
Traveler's Joy is potentially toxic if eaten and can cause severe digestive irritation and urinary tract irritation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take any of the following: digoxin or other heart medications containing cardiac glycosides; corticosteroids, diuretics (water pills), stimulant laxatives, or macrolide or tetracycline antibiotics (moderate risk of toxicity from star of Bethlehem); medications metabolized by liver enzymes including certain cancer drugs, HIV protease inhibitors, or midazolam (Versed); immunosuppressant medications; blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs; lithium; or sedatives and sleep aids, pain relievers that affect the brain, or other central nervous system depressants (moderate risk from lavender). Additionally, if you drink a lot of caffeine or take caffeine-containing medications, echinacea may boost caffeine levels by around 30%.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a flower essence product, and several of its ingredients have significant interactions with common medications—especially heart drugs, immunosuppressants, blood thinners, sedatives, and lithium. If you take any prescription medication, run it through the checker before starting.
Talk to your pharmacist or doctor first, particularly if you have heart disease, take digoxin or other heart medications, or use diuretics or corticosteroids.

Post-Trauma Stabilizer by Flower Essence Services Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Post-Trauma Stabilizer by Flower Essence Services contains several ingredients with documented drug interactions.
The most serious concern is star of Bethlehem, which carries moderate-severity interactions with heart medications and drugs that affect electrolytes. Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides—compounds that work like digitalis—and can dangerously boost the effects of digoxin (Lanoxin) and similar heart drugs, as well as increase toxicity risk when combined with corticosteroids, diuretics, stimulant laxatives, macrolide antibiotics (like erythromycin), tetracycline antibiotics, or quinine.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Echinacea in this product has moderate interactions with drugs metabolized by liver enzymes (CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 substrates), immunosuppressant medications, and the chemotherapy drug etoposide. It can also raise caffeine levels by about 30%.
Arnica carries a moderate interaction with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs, though this is mainly a theoretical concern based on lab evidence. Lavender has a moderate interaction with central nervous system depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, pain relievers that affect the brain), and yarrow may increase lithium levels if you're taking it for bipolar disorder.
Several ingredients in this product—Swertia radiata, Dicentra formosa, Triteleia lilacina, Prunus cerasifera, and Impatiens glandulifera—we could not check because no interaction data are held for them. Altogether, these interactions span 1,120 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Post-Trauma Stabilizer 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.
Echinacea purpurea
Caffeine
Echinacea can increase plasma levels of caffeine by inhibiting its metabolism.
Echinacea seems to increase plasma concentrations of caffeine by around 30%. This is likely due to inhibition of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) by echinacea.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Echinacea might inhibit the metabolism of CYP1A2 and increase plasma levels of some drugs.
Echinacea appears to inhibit CYP1A2 enzymes in humans. Additionally, echinacea seems to increase plasma concentrations of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate, by around 30%. Theoretically, echinacea might increase levels of other drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Echinacea may induce hepatic CYP3A4 and inhibit intestinal CYP3A4. This may increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Several clinical trials have shown that taking echinacea for up to one month does not significantly affect the metabolism of various CYP3A4 substrates, including midazolam, docetaxel, etravirine, lopinavir-ritonavir, and darunavir-ritonavir. However, other clinical research shows that echinacea may increase the clearance of midazolam, suggesting that echinacea might induce CYP3A4. The discrepancy is thought to be due to differing effects of echinacea on intestinal versus hepatic CYP3A4 enzymes. Echinacea appears to induce hepatic CYP3A4 but inhibit intestinal CYP3A4. In some cases, these effects might cancel each other out, but in others, drug levels may be increased or decreased depending on the level of effect at hepatic and intestinal sites. The effect of echinacea on CYP3A4 activity may differ depending on the CYP3A4 substrate.
Etoposide (Vepesid)
Echinacea may increase levels of etoposide.
In one report, concomitant use of etoposide and echinacea was associated with more severe thrombocytopenia than the use of etoposide alone, suggesting inhibition of etoposide metabolism. Etoposide is a cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrate. Echinacea has variable effects on CYP3A4, but some studies have reported inhibition of the enzyme.
Immunosuppressants
Echinacea has immunostimulant activity which may interfere with immunosuppressant therapy.
Theoretically, echinacea may interfere with immunosuppressant therapy because of its immunostimulant activity.
Darunavir (Prezista)
Theoretically, echinacea may interfere with the metabolism of darunavir; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
Darunavir is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and is administered with the CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir to increase its plasma concentrations. Echinacea has variable effects on CYP3A4, but administration of an E. purpurea root extract (Arkocapsulas Echinacea, Arkopharma) 500 mg four times daily for 14 days did not affect darunavir/ritonavir pharmacokinetics in 15 HIV-infected patients.
Dayquil Severe
Echinacea is reported to have varying effects on a number of Cytochrome P450 metabolizing enzymes in the liver, including CYP1A2 and CYP3A4, which play a role in acetaminophen and dextromethorphan metabolism (both contained in DayQuil Severe), respectively. Studies have reported both enzyme inhibition and induction, making it difficult to predict clinically significant drug interactions with reliability. Specific drug interaction studies reporting definitive results are rare, and potential drug interactions involving echinacea should likely be taken on a case-by-case basis. Based on what we know about how acetaminophen and dextromethorphan are metabolized, the risk of a clinically significant interaction between echinacea and DayQuil Severe is low.
Docetaxel (Taxotere)
Theoretically, echinacea may interfere with the metabolism of docetaxel; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
Docetaxel is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Echinacea has variable effects on CYP3A4, but taking E. purpurea whole plant extract (Echinaforce, A. Vogel Biopharma AG) 20 drops three times daily for 2 weeks did not alter the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel in one clinical study.
Etravirine (Intelence)
Theoretically, echinacea may interfere with the metabolism of etravirine; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
Etravirine is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Echinacea has variable effects on CYP3A4, but taking E. purpurea root extract (Arkocapsulas Echinacea, Arkopharma) 500 mg three times daily for 14 days did not alter the pharmacokinetics of etravirine in HIV-infected patients.
Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra)
Theoretically, echinacea may interfere with the metabolism of lopinavir; however, a small clinical study found no effect.
Lopinavir is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and is administered with the CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir to increase its plasma concentrations. Echinacea has variable effects on CYP3A4, but taking E. purpurea (Echinamide, Natural Factors Nutritional Products, Inc.) 500 mg three times daily for 14 days did not alter the pharmacokinetics of lopinavir/ritonavir in healthy volunteers.
Midazolam (Versed)
Theoretically, echinacea may increase the metabolism of intravenous midazolam.
Echinacea induces hepatic CYP3A4 and might decrease plasma levels of midazolam by about 20%, reducing the effectiveness of intravenous midazolam. Echinacea also appears to inhibit intestinal CYP3A4, which could theoretically increase the bioavailability of oral midazolam. This may cancel out the decrease in availability caused by induction of hepatic CYP3A4, such that overall plasma levels after oral administration of midazolam are not affected by echinacea.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Echinacea seems to increase the clearance of warfarin, although the effect may not be clinically significant.
Preliminary clinical research in healthy male volunteers suggests that taking echinacea increases the clearance of the active S-isomer of warfarin after a single dose of warfarin, but there was not a clinically significant effect on the INR.
English Lavender essential oil
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.
Ornithogalum umbellatum
Corticosteroids
Theoretically, taking star of Bethlehem with prolonged corticosteroid therapy might increase the risk of toxicity.
Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides. Concomitant use of corticosteroids with star of Bethlehem can increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of long-term corticosteroid use due to potassium depletion and electrolyte imbalance.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking star of Bethlehem in combination with digoxin might have additive effects and increase the risk of toxicity.
Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides with effects similar to digoxin.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, taking diuretics with star of Bethlehem might increase the risk of toxicity.
Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides. Theoretically, concomitant use of potassium-depleting diuretics and star of Bethlehem can increase the risk of cardiac glycoside toxicity due to potassium depletion.
Macrolide Antibiotics
Theoretically, taking macrolide antibiotics with star of Bethlehem might increase the risk of cardiac glycoside toxicity.
Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides. Macrolide antibiotics appear to increase the gastrointestinal absorption of oral digoxin. Theoretically, concomitant use of macrolide antibiotics might increase the absorption of the cardiac glycosides found in star of Bethlehem and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Quinine
Theoretically, taking quinine with star of Bethlehem might increase the risk of cardiac glycoside toxicity.
Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides. Quinine may reduce the clearance of oral digoxin. Theoretically, concomitant use of quinine might reduce the clearance of cardiac glycosides found in star of Bethlehem and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Stimulant Laxatives
Theoretically, excessive use of stimulant laxatives with star of Bethlehem might increase the risk of toxicity.
Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides. Excessive use of stimulant laxatives can cause diarrhea, resulting in potassium depletion. This might increase the risk of cardiac glycoside toxicity.
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with star of Bethlehem might increase the risk of cardiac glycoside toxicity.
Star of Bethlehem contains cardiac glycosides similar to digitalis. Tetracycline antibiotics appear to increase the gastrointestinal absorption of oral digoxin. Theoretically, concomitant use of tetracycline antibiotics might increase the absorption of the cardiac glycosides found in star of Bethlehem and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Arnica mollis
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, arnica might have additive effects with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs. Homeopathic arnica preparations are unlikely to have this interaction.
In vitro evidence shows that sesquiterpene lactones in arnica flowers can decrease platelet aggregation. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.
Yarrow essential oil
Lithium
Theoretically, taking yarrow with lithium might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
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.
