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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

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
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 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.

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 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.

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, 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.

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 Flowers 325 mg by Nature's Way: Common Questions

Does Yarrow Flowers 325 mg by Nature's Way interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yarrow Flowers 325 mg 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 Flowers 325 mg 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 take this if I'm pregnant?
No. Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus. The safety data advise against it — talk to your OB or midwife before considering any herbal supplement in pregnancy.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know, so it's best avoided while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it.
Does yarrow actually help with wound healing or period pain?
Those are traditional uses, but we don't have reliable clinical evidence that it works for either one. The data rates both as insufficient evidence.
Can yarrow cause side effects when I swallow it?
When taken by mouth, yarrow is generally well tolerated. If you apply it to skin, it can cause dermatitis or allergic reactions in some people.
Why does the label say 'plant-derived capsule'?
That just means the capsule shell is made from plant material rather than gelatin, so it's suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets. It's the same function — it holds the yarrow powder inside.
