HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yarrow by Ra Herbals
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, a traditional herbal remedy. The liquid form also includes cane alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for yarrow isn't established in our data. We hold effectiveness ratings for several traditional uses — tonsillitis, wound healing, atopic dermatitis (eczema), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and yeast infections — but all are rated as insufficient reliable evidence to rate.
That means the research either isn't there yet or hasn't been rigorous enough to draw firm conclusions.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
When taken by mouth or used vaginally, yarrow appears to be well tolerated overall. However, topical use carries a real risk: it can cause allergic or atopic skin inflammation (dermatitis) or hives, and has been reported to trigger sun-sensitivity reactions and contact dermatitis from handling the flowers.
One person in a trial developed worsened acne after vaginal use. Yarrow is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus — do not use during pregnancy.
There isn't enough safety data to recommend it while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too. Allergic reactions are possible, so if you have known sensitivities to ragweed or related plants, be cautious.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium for bipolar disorder, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — yarrow may increase lithium levels and side effects, and your dose might need to change.
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 is a single-ingredient liquid used traditionally for various conditions, but the evidence for those uses isn't established in our data. The main concern is its interaction with lithium; if you take that medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
It's not safe in pregnancy and should be avoided while breastfeeding. For anyone else without lithium use, talk it over with your healthcare provider to see if it's right for you.
