HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Skunk Cabbage by Herb Pharm
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
This product contains one active ingredient: skunk cabbage rhizome and root extract (Symplocarpus foetidus). The liquid also holds certified organic cane alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients to preserve and deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for skunk cabbage isn't established in the data we hold. Our information rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for asthma, headache, respiratory tract infections, and seizures — the conditions it's traditionally used for.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research isn't there yet to say one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Skunk cabbage carries real cautions. At higher doses or with excessive use, it can cause nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and vision dimming.
The fresh plant can severely irritate your mouth and throat — and the extract, while processed, still warrants respect for dosing. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for skunk cabbage. That said, run your medications through the search tool on this page before you start, especially if you take anything for nausea, dizziness, or nervous system function — since the plant itself can trigger those effects, your pharmacist will want to see the full picture.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Skunk cabbage is a traditional herbal extract with limited modern evidence and a narrow safety margin — higher doses bring real side effects. If you're considering it for asthma, headaches, or respiratory issues, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first about whether it's right for you and what dose to try.
Definitely check in before combining it with any medications you're on.
