HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Upper Chamber Teapills by Plum Flower
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
Low disclosure
Upper Chamber Teapills contains four active ingredients. Angelica dahurica root extract, Mentha haplocalyx herb extract (Japanese mint), Magnolia biondii flower extract, and Xanthium sibiricum fruit extract (Siberian cocklebur) are the components listed.
These are combined in a proprietary extract blend. The product also contains several inactive ingredients—magnesium silicate, dextrin, activated carbon, and china wax—which are binders, fillers, and capsule materials.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for what this product actually does is very limited. Magnolia is rated possibly effective for gingivitis, but for its other claimed uses—hay fever, anxiety, and dental plaque—the evidence is insufficient to rate.
Angelica dahurica, Japanese mint, and Siberian cocklebur have either insufficient evidence or no established effectiveness ratings in the data we hold. This product's actual benefit is not well established.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Siberian cocklebur is a major safety concern. It is regarded as generally unsafe—it has caused serious poisoning, including severe low blood sugar, liver and kidney damage, irregular heartbeat, and bleeding.
It requires careful professional processing and oversight. Angelica dahurica is likely safe as food but supplement safety hasn't been well studied.
Magnolia is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though long-term human safety data is limited. Japanese mint in food amounts is fine, but the concentrated oil can irritate or become toxic if misused.
All four ingredients carry warnings against use in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data or potential harm.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you take any medication for diabetes or blood sugar control, any drug that affects the kidneys or liver, any blood thinner (anticoagulant) or antiplatelet drug, or any medication that makes you drowsy (CNS depressant). Siberian cocklebur carries Major-severity interactions with kidney drugs, liver drugs, and diabetes medications.
Magnolia and Angelica dahurica have Moderate interactions that could change how several other drugs work in your body.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
We cannot recommend this product without serious reservation. The presence of Siberian cocklebur—which is known to be toxic and to cause liver damage, kidney damage, severe low blood sugar, and heart problems—makes it a high-risk choice.
If you take any medication for blood sugar, kidney function, or liver function, or any blood thinner, you absolutely must talk to your pharmacist before considering this product. Even then, the safety profile and limited evidence of benefit make it hard to justify.

Upper Chamber Teapills by Plum Flower Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Upper Chamber Teapills by Plum Flower contains four active ingredients, and we've identified significant interactions with a large number of medications.
The most serious concern is Siberian cocklebur fruit extract, which carries Major-severity interactions with three drug categories: drugs that can harm the kidneys (nephrotoxic drugs), drugs that can harm the liver (hepatotoxic drugs), and diabetes medications. Siberian cocklebur itself can damage both organs and has caused severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people who've consumed it—sometimes within hours.
Do not use this product if you take any medication for blood sugar control, kidney disease, or liver disease without talking to your pharmacist first.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Angelica dahurica root extract carries a Moderate interaction with a group of drugs processed through a liver enzyme called CYP1A2. This means the extract may slow how your body clears certain medications, potentially raising their levels.
Magnolia biondii flower extract also has Moderate interactions: it may add to the sedating effects of drugs that depress the central nervous system (CNS depressants), and it may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs.
We could not check Japanese mint herb extract against medication databases, so we hold no interaction data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 946 individual medications.

Xanthium sibiricum Fruit Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Siberian cocklebur seedlings and seeds have caused severe hypoglycemia in humans. Hypoglycemia occurs soon after consumption and worsens with time in most cases. Do not use Siberian cocklebur in people taking medications that also lower blood glucose.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Siberian cocklebur can adversely affect the liver. It has been linked to many cases of hepatotoxicity and some cases of liver failure. Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage. Some of these drugs include acarbose (Precose, Prandase), amiodarone (Cordarone), atorvastatin (Lipitor), azathioprine (Imuran), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cerivastatin (Baycol), diclofenac (Voltaren), felbamate (Felbatol), fenofibrate (TriCor), fluvastatin (Lescol), gemfibrozil (Lopid), isoniazid, itraconazole, (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), leflunomide (Arava), lovastatin (Mevacor), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), nevirapine (Viramune), niacin, nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin), pioglitazone (Actos), pravastatin (Pravachol), pyrazinamide, rifampin (Rifadin), ritonavir (Norvir), rosiglitazone (Avandia), simvastatin (Zocor), tacrine (Cognex), tamoxifen, terbinafine (Lamisil), valproic acid, and zileuton (Zyflo).
Nephrotoxic Drugs
Siberian cocklebur can adversely affect the kidney. Theoretically, combining Siberian cocklebur with potentially nephrotoxic drugs might have additive harmful effects on kidney function.
Some potentially nephrotoxic drugs include cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune); aminoglycosides including amikacin (Amikin), gentamicin (Garamycin, Gentak, others), and tobramycin (Nebcin, others); nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, others), indomethacin (Indocin), naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn), piroxicam (Feldene); and numerous others.
Magnolia biondii Flower Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, magnolia might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that the chemicals magnolol and honokiol, isolated from magnolia bark, inhibit platelet aggregation that is experimentally induced by collagen and arachidonic acid. However, they do not inhibit platelet aggregation that is induced by adenosine diphosphate, platelet-activating factor, or thrombin. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of large doses of magnolia bark and CNS depressants might have additive effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that constituents extracted from magnolia bark, especially honokiol and magnolol, have sedative effects. These effects may be due to the inhibition of catecholamine release and modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors.
Angelica dahurica Root Extract
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
In vitro research shows that ashitaba extract inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2. Theoretically, concomitant use of ashitaba with CYP1A2 substrates might decrease the clearance of these substrates and increase the risk for adverse effects. However, this interaction has yet to be reported in humans. Until more is known, use with caution.
