HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rosemary Leaf by Indiana Botanic Gardens

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains two active ingredients: sodium and rosemary. Sodium is an essential mineral your body needs for nerve and muscle function, but the amount in rosemary leaf tea is generally small — the real concern comes when you combine dietary or supplemental sodium with medication that affects sodium balance.

Rosemary is an herb traditionally used in cooking and folk medicine; the product supplies it in dried leaf form, typically steeped as a tea.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Herbal supplement for spice, tea, or seasoning.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

For rosemary, the evidence we hold shows it is possibly effective for memory. For other uses listed in our data — age-related cognitive decline, alopecia areata, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease — the evidence is insufficient to rate.

As for sodium, cystic fibrosis is listed as likely effective, and amphotericin B nephrotoxicity is possibly effective, but both of these are specialized medical uses managed by doctors, not something you'd treat with a tea at home.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Rosemary

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rosemary in normal food amounts is generally well tolerated and safe; concentrated extracts and undiluted essential oil carry more caution. The dried leaf in this tea format is unlikely to cause harm in typical use.

Sodium, on the other hand, requires care: normal dietary sodium is fine, but too much is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain. Avoid sodium supplements or very high intake without talking to your doctor first.

In rare cases, excess sodium has caused worsened cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and kidney disease. Topical rosemary can occasionally cause allergic reactions, lip and gum swelling, or contact dermatitis in sensitive people.

Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Rosemary, Sodium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 567 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 with your pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications, lithium, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, aspirin, or salicylate-containing pain relievers like Trilisate or Disalcid. Also mention it if you're on any drug that is processed by your liver's CYP1A2 enzyme system — we can help you figure out if that's one of yours.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood pressure medication, lithium, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or salicylate pain relievers, check with your pharmacist before using this product — the sodium and rosemary both have documented interactions. For anyone else, this rosemary tea in normal amounts is likely fine, but it's worth a quick conversation with us if you have kidney disease, heart disease, or are on any regular medication.

Rosemary6 drug types · 372 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, rosemary may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that rosemary inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking rosemary with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that rosemary extract can decrease blood glucose levels in diabetic models. However, research in humans is conflicting. Although rosemary powder decreased blood glucose levels in healthy adults, no change in blood glucose levels was seen in adults with type 2 diabetes, most of whom were taking antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as aspirin.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as choline magnesium trisalicylate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Salsalate (Disalcid)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as salsalate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, rosemary might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that rosemary induces CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Rosemary full monograph & interactions

Sodium7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

Rosemary Leaf by Indiana Botanic Gardens: Common Questions

Does Rosemary Leaf by Indiana Botanic Gardens interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Rosemary Leaf has a known interaction with 567 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Rosemary Leaf contains 3 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.
Is the sodium in this tea a problem?
Sodium in a cup of rosemary leaf tea is small and not the issue on its own. The problem arises if you're taking medication that manages sodium — blood pressure pills, lithium, corticosteroids, or drugs like tolvaptan or didanosine. If you're on any of those, mention this product to your pharmacist first.
Can rosemary help with memory?
Rosemary is possibly effective for memory according to the evidence we hold, though the strength of that evidence is moderate. If memory support is your goal, talk with us about whether this product is right for you and how to use it.
Is rosemary safe during pregnancy?
Food amounts of rosemary are likely fine during pregnancy, but medicinal or large doses don't have enough safety data, so we advise against them. If you're pregnant and want to use this, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Can rosemary cause any side effects?
In normal food or tea amounts, rosemary is generally well tolerated. In concentrated form or as an undiluted oil, it can theoretically cause seizures due to its camphor content. Topical use can cause allergic reactions, swelling, or photosensitivity in sensitive people.
What if I'm on blood thinners like warfarin or clopidogrel?
Rosemary may increase the risk of bleeding if combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, so mention this product to your pharmacist or doctor before using it alongside those medications.
