HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Woad by Herbal Terra

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: woad leaf extract (a dried form). Woad is a plant that's been used in traditional medicine, particularly in Asian herbal practices.

The liquid also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients that help deliver the extract.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Isatis's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Isatis for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Psoriasis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for woad is limited. It's rated possibly effective for psoriasis based on available data.

For other conditions people sometimes use it for—respiratory infections, prostate cancer, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis, and aging skin—the evidence isn't established enough to rate. That means we don't have solid research backing its use for those purposes, though traditional use doesn't rule out a benefit either.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Isatis

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Here's what you need to know: woad has been used short-term in traditional medicine, but we don't have much human safety data on it. The safety information is too limited to recommend it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding—the data just isn't there to know either way.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it. No adverse effects were reported in the data we hold, but again, limited safety testing means we're not in a position to say it's risk-free.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That doesn't guarantee none exist—the safety record is simply incomplete—so confirm with your pharmacist before starting, particularly if you take regular medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Woad may be worth considering if you're exploring options for psoriasis, though the evidence is modest. Because human safety data are thin and it's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, it's a good idea to run it by your pharmacist first, especially if you're taking medications, pregnant, or nursing.

Woad by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Woad by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Woad. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Woad contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take woad while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know it's safe during pregnancy, and there's no reliable safety data for breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does woad actually work for psoriasis?
It's rated possibly effective based on available evidence, which means there's some support but it's not definitive. For other conditions people sometimes try it for—like respiratory infections or ulcerative colitis—we don't have enough reliable research to rate it either way.
What are the side effects?
The data we hold don't report adverse effects, but human safety testing on woad is limited. Because we don't have comprehensive safety information, talk with your pharmacist if you have concerns or experience anything unusual.
Is woad safe to use long-term?
Woad has been used short-term in traditional medicine, but we don't have enough data to say whether it's safe for long-term use. Keep doses and duration modest and check in with your pharmacist if you're thinking of using it for weeks or months.
What's in this liquid besides the woad?
The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin. They help dissolve and preserve the woad extract. If you need to avoid alcohol, this liquid form may not be right for you.
