HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wormwood 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 contains one active ingredient: certified organic wormwood extract in liquid form. Wormwood is a plant used traditionally for digestive and biliary concerns.

The extract is suspended in vegetable palm glycerin and Hawaiian artesian water; no alcohol is added.

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 Wormwood product and its label doesn't state a use — see Wormwood'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.

The evidence for wormwood isn't established in the data we hold. Studies have rated it as having insufficient reliable evidence for biliary disorders, Crohn disease, depression, dyspepsia (indigestion), and osteoarthritis.

In plain terms: we don't have enough solid research to say whether it actually works for these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wormwood

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.

Wormwood contains thujone, a neurotoxin, and comes with real safety concerns. Short-term use of properly prepared products may be acceptable, but higher amounts can be toxic.

The most common side effects from the oil are muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting. Rarely, serious effects like acute kidney damage, muscle breakdown, or seizures have been reported.

Wormwood is unsafe during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding either.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Wormwood

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Wormwood.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: seizure medications.
  • For scale: 50 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 anticonvulsants (seizure medications), do not start this product without checking with your pharmacist first — wormwood may reduce how well your medication works.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Wormwood is a traditional herbal extract with insufficient evidence for its common uses and real toxicity concerns from its thujone content. If you take seizure medications, you should not use this product without talking to your pharmacist first.

Anyone with liver or kidney disease, or who is pregnant or breastfeeding, should avoid it. Check with your pharmacist before starting.

Wormwood Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Wormwood Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wormwood Non-Alcohol has a known interaction with 50 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wormwood Non-Alcohol 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.
What is wormwood used for?
Wormwood has been used traditionally for biliary disorders, Crohn disease, depression, indigestion, and osteoarthritis, but the evidence to prove it works for these is currently insufficient. We don't have solid research backing its effectiveness yet.
Is it safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — wormwood is considered unsafe in pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus. There also isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it during these times.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effects are muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting. Rarely, serious effects like kidney damage, muscle breakdown, or seizures can occur, especially with higher doses or prolonged use. Wormwood contains thujone, a neurotoxin that becomes toxic at higher amounts.
Can I take this if I'm on seizure medications?
No — wormwood may interfere with how anticonvulsant drugs work and reduce their effectiveness. If you take a seizure medication, check with your pharmacist before using this product.
Why does the label say non-alcohol if wormwood is in absinthe?
This product uses wormwood extract but doesn't contain alcohol. Absinthe is an alcoholic drink that also contained wormwood and was linked to serious effects from chronic heavy use; this liquid supplement avoids the alcohol but still carries wormwood's own safety concerns.
