HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tansy Non-Alcohol 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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product has one active ingredient: certified organic tansy extract. Tansy is a plant, and the extract is mixed with vegetable palm glycerin and Hawaiian water as inactive ingredients to make it liquid.

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. That means the evidence either isn't established or we haven't reviewed it.

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, a compound that can be toxic — internal use is generally discouraged. The safety data advises against using tansy during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because of the thujone content and tansy's traditional use to bring on menstruation or abortion.

If swallowed, thujone toxicity can cause rapid or irregular heartbeat, fast breathing, severe stomach upset, vomiting, enlarged pupils, liver and kidney damage, and in rare cases, death. Deaths have occurred from as little as 10 drops of tansy oil, sometimes within 1 to 3.5 hours.

Applied to skin, tansy may trigger reactions like eczema or photosensitivity (sun-triggered rashes) in people sensitive to plants in the daisy family.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tansy

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

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.

Alcohol is the one medication type with a documented major interaction — thujone can increase and alter alcohol's effects. Check with your pharmacist about your other medications before you start.
