HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tansy Plant Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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
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 powder. Tansy is a plant that has been used in traditional medicine, though we hold no established effectiveness ratings for it in our data.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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 data for tansy in our records, so we can't tell you what it's intended to do or whether it does 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 toxic compound, which is why internal use is generally discouraged. The safety data advises against use in pregnancy — tansy has historically been used to bring on menstruation or abortion and is rated Likely Unsafe in pregnancy.

It's also rated Likely Unsafe while breastfeeding due to the thujone content. Adverse effects are serious.

Thujone toxicity can cause a rapid or irregular heartbeat, rapid breathing, severe stomach upset, vomiting, dilated pupils, liver and kidney damage, and in rare cases, death — sometimes from as little as a few drops of tansy oil. Topical contact with tansy can trigger skin reactions like eczema or photosensitivity (a sun-triggered rash) in people with atopic dermatitis or sensitivity to plants in the daisy family.

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.

If you take this product, avoid alcohol — tansy can intensify and alter its effects, and that's a Major interaction. No other medications are documented to interact with tansy in our data, but the product's toxicity profile makes it risky overall.

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.

Tansy is not a routine supplement. The thujone it contains carries real toxicity risk, and the safety data advises against it in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If you're considering it, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first — this one warrants a careful, personalized conversation.
