HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yarrow by BIOVEA

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: ethically wild harvested Yarrow, provided as a liquid extract. The inactive ingredients are grain alcohol and deionized water.

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 Yarrow product and its label doesn't state a use — see Yarrow'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 yarrow's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. The product is traditionally used for tonsillitis, wound healing, eczema, menstrual cramping, and yeast infections, but the scientific support for any of these uses is listed as insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

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.

When taken by mouth or applied vaginally, yarrow seems to be generally well tolerated. However, topical use carries a real risk: yarrow can cause allergic skin reactions, dermatitis, or hives in some people — occasionally even photo-allergic reactions or airway irritation when the plant is handled.

One person in a clinical trial reported worsening acne after vaginal use. Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus — do not use it if you're pregnant.

There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided while nursing. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before considering this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

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 — Yarrow.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • 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 lithium (for mood or bipolar disorder), check with your pharmacist before starting Biovea Yarrow Liquid — yarrow may increase lithium levels and side effects. No other medications are documented to interact with this ingredient in our data.

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.

Yarrow is a single-herb liquid extract with limited scientific evidence for the conditions it's traditionally used for. If you take lithium, you need to check with your pharmacist first — this product can raise lithium levels.

It's generally well tolerated by mouth but can trigger allergic skin reactions on the skin. Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it.

Lithium

Theoretically, taking yarrow with lithium might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research shows that yarrow has diuretic activity. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, yarrow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Yarrow by BIOVEA: Common Questions

Does Yarrow by BIOVEA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yarrow has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Yarrow 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 use yarrow if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus, and there isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
What's the most common side effect of yarrow?
When applied to skin, yarrow can cause allergic reactions like dermatitis or hives. When taken by mouth or applied vaginally, it's generally well tolerated, though one person reported worsening acne after vaginal use in a trial.
Does yarrow actually work for tonsillitis, wound healing, or eczema?
The scientific evidence for those uses is insufficient to rate. Yarrow is traditionally used for them, but we don't have reliable data showing it's effective.
Why does this product contain alcohol?
Grain alcohol is an inactive ingredient used in liquid herbal extracts to preserve the active compounds and help them dissolve. It's standard in herbal liquids like this one.
Can I apply this directly to my skin?
Yarrow can cause allergic skin reactions, including dermatitis, hives, and even photo-allergic reactions when exposed to sunlight. If you use it topically, test it on a small area first and talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
