HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yarrow Flowers 325 mg by Nature's Way
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: 325 mg of yarrow (also called milfoil), a flowering plant used in traditional herbalism. The capsule itself is plant-derived, and the inactive ingredients are magnesium stearate (a lubricant).
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that yarrow works reliably for any of the uses it's traditionally been marketed for — tonsillitis, wound healing, atopic dermatitis (eczema), dysmenorrhea (painful periods), or vaginal yeast infection. The data rates all of these as insufficient reliable evidence.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical trials we have aren't strong enough to prove it either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
When taken by mouth or inserted vaginally, yarrow is generally well tolerated. Topically (on skin), it can cause contact dermatitis, allergic reactions, or urticaria (hives) because of compounds called sesquiterpene lactones, and it's been reported to cause photo-allergic reactions and airborne contact dermatitis.
In one case, handling yarrow flowers triggered rhinitis and asthma in an individual. Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus — the safety data advise against use.
There isn't enough safety information to support use while breastfeeding either, so it's best avoided.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting yarrow — it may increase lithium levels and side effects (Moderate severity). No other medication interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient.
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 sometimes tried for wound healing or period pain, but we don't have reliable evidence it works for those purposes. If you take lithium, don't start this without checking with your pharmacist or doctor — it may raise your lithium levels.
Talk to your pharmacist before taking it, especially if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
