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 is a single-ingredient liquid: yarrow, the whole plant traditionally used in herbal medicine. The liquid form includes cane alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold on yarrow doesn't support it for any of its traditional uses—tonsillitis, wound healing, eczema, painful periods, or yeast infections. For each of these, the data rate as insufficient to judge whether it actually works.
That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means good human studies are lacking.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally and applied inside the vagina, yarrow is generally well tolerated. Topically (on skin), it's a different story: it can trigger allergic or contact dermatitis, hives, and sun-triggered skin reactions because of compounds called sesquiterpene lactones.
Handling the fresh flowers has even caused asthma and runny nose in at least one person. Avoid yarrow in pregnancy—traditional use advises against it because it may affect the uterus.
Skip it while breastfeeding too; safety data aren't there. Because human safety data overall are limited, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium, do not use this product without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist first—yarrow may raise lithium levels and cause toxicity (a Moderate interaction).
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Yarrow is traditionally used for a range of complaints, but we don't have strong evidence it works for any of them. If you take lithium, you'll need to check with your pharmacist before using it.
If you apply it to skin, watch for rashes or itching. Pregnant or breastfeeding?
This one's best avoided.
