HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sacred Heart 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
This liquid blend contains 9 flower infusions and essential oils. The checked ingredients include yarrow (both as infusion and essential oil), centaury, holly, and rose species; several others—Dicentra formosa, Rosa californica, Mimulus lewisii, and Chaenomeles speciosa—haven't been assessed for drug interactions.
The liquid base is water and brandy.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The effectiveness evidence we hold is limited. Yarrow is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for wound healing, atopic dermatitis (eczema), dysmenorrhea, and vaginal candidiasis.
Centaury is also rated insufficient for diabetic nephropathy. The other ingredients in this blend don't have effectiveness ratings on file.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Yarrow can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation when handled or applied topically—including dermatitis and, rarely, respiratory symptoms. Holly leaf carries a caution: it can cause stomach upset and diarrhea if ingested, and the berries are toxic.
Centaury is used in small amounts as a digestive bitter, but high-quality safety data are limited. During pregnancy, avoid this product.
Yarrow is traditionally avoided because it may affect the uterus, and centaury and holly both lack pregnancy safety data. Breastfeeding safety is also unknown for these ingredients, so it's best not used then either.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before taking this product if you're on lithium. Yarrow may theoretically raise lithium levels and side effects by reducing how your kidneys clear it.
Several ingredients here—Dicentra formosa, Rosa californica, Mimulus lewisii, Chaenomeles speciosa, and damask rose—haven't been checked for interactions, so confirm your full medication list with your doctor or pharmacist.
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.
Sacred Heart is a flower essence blend with limited effectiveness data and some ingredients we can't fully check against medications. If you take lithium or any other prescription drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should avoid it.
