What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

  • 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.

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 have no effectiveness data on file for tansy for any health 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 comes with serious safety concerns you need to know about. It contains thujone, a toxic compound, and internal use is generally discouraged because of poisoning risk.

If swallowed, symptoms of thujone toxicity can include a rapid or irregular heartbeat, fast breathing, severe stomach upset and vomiting, dilated pupils, and liver or kidney damage — and deaths have been reported from ingestion of very small amounts of tansy oil, sometimes within 1–3.5 hours. Tansy must not be used during pregnancy: it has been used traditionally to bring on menstruation or abortion, and safety data rates it Likely Unsafe.

The same applies to breastfeeding — safety is not established, and thujone content makes it unsafe while nursing. Additionally, contact with tansy or related plants can cause skin reactions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, or photosensitivity (sensitivity to sunlight).

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.

Avoid alcohol while taking this product. Tansy contains thujone, which can increase and alter alcohol's effects.

This is a Major interaction, so it's not something to brush past. If you drink and are thinking about using this product, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

The bottom line

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

This is not a product we'd recommend without a very specific reason and close supervision from a healthcare provider. Tansy carries serious toxicity risks, is unsafe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and has a documented Major interaction with alcohol.

If you're considering it, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first — don't use it on your own.
