HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yarrow 2,000 mg by Nature's Answer
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
This product contains one active ingredient: yarrow aerial parts extract (the above-ground parts of the yarrow plant), supplying 2,000 mg per serving. The liquid is made with water, vegetable glycerin, and alcohol as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that yarrow is effective for the conditions it's traditionally used for — tonsillitis, wound healing, eczema, period pain, and vaginal yeast infections all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical data aren't strong enough yet for us to rate it one way or another.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
When taken by mouth or applied vaginally, yarrow is generally well tolerated. However, when applied to skin, it can cause dermatitis (itching and irritation) in some people, along with rare reports of allergic reactions and sun-sensitivity reactions.
Inhaling yarrow dust or handling the flowers has occasionally triggered sinus and asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals. The safety data are limited because yarrow is usually used short-term and for brief periods only.
Don't use yarrow during pregnancy — it has traditionally been avoided because it may affect the uterus. There isn't enough safety information to use it while breastfeeding either.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium for bipolar disorder, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting yarrow. Yarrow may increase lithium levels in your blood, and your dose might need adjustment.
If you take any other prescription medications, use the interaction checker below to be sure.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Yarrow has a long history of use, but the clinical evidence for most of its traditional uses is still thin. It's generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, but skin applications can trigger dermatitis in sensitive people.
If you take lithium, check with your pharmacist first — this supplement could affect your blood levels. For any other prescription medications, run them through the checker on this page.
