HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tansy Alcohol Free by Hawaii 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: tansy flowering top, leaf extract in dry form. The extract is suspended in glycerin and water.

Tansy has been used in traditional herbal practice, but it's important to know that it naturally contains thujone, a compound with significant safety concerns — which is why we want you informed before you use it.

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 Tansy product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tansy'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.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for tansy in our data, so we can't tell you whether this product is established to work for any particular purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tansy

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.

Tansy contains thujone, which is poisonous, so internal use is generally discouraged. The safety data advises against use in pregnancy — tansy has been used traditionally to bring on menstruation or abortion.

Safety is not established while breastfeeding, and the thujone content makes it unsafe during lactation. Adverse effects from thujone toxicity can include rapid heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, rapid breathing, severe stomach upset, vomiting, dilated pupils, liver damage, kidney damage, and in severe cases, death.

Fatalities have been reported from as little as 10 drops of tansy oil, occurring within 1 to 3.5 hours after ingestion. Topical contact may cause skin reactions like eczema or photosensitivity (sun sensitivity) in some people.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tansy

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Tansy.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • 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 drink alcohol, do not use this product — tansy's thujone can increase and alter alcohol's effects (Major interaction). No other interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check.
