HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yarrow Flowers by Gaia Herbs
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
Low disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: yarrow flowers extract. Yarrow has been used traditionally for a range of purposes, including supporting wound healing, skin health, menstrual comfort, and immune function.
However, the evidence supporting these uses is not yet established in our data.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold does not establish yarrow's effectiveness for any of the conditions it's traditionally used for — including wound healing, eczema, menstrual discomfort, yeast infection, and tonsillitis. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the reliable evidence isn't in yet.
If you're considering yarrow for a specific reason, it's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Yarrow taken by mouth or applied internally (vaginally) is generally well tolerated. However, when applied to skin, it can trigger contact dermatitis, hives, or allergic reactions in some people — especially those sensitive to plants in the daisy family.
Yarrow can also cause sun-sensitive reactions on the skin. One person who handled yarrow flowers reported rhinitis and asthma.
The safety data available are limited overall, and allergic reactions are possible. Yarrow is not safe in pregnancy — it may affect the uterus, so it should be avoided.
There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding either. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — yarrow may increase lithium levels and its side effects. No other medication interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Yarrow has a long history in herbal medicine, but the evidence backing its uses isn't yet established. If you're interested in trying it, the main caution is a documented interaction with lithium — if you take that medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
It's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. For skin application, watch for allergic reactions.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Gaia Herbs Yarrow Flowers has one documented interaction — with lithium, a mood-stabilizing medication.
Yarrow contains compounds with diuretic activity (meaning they increase urine output). Because lithium relies on your kidneys to clear it from your body, yarrow may reduce how much lithium your kidneys excrete, which could raise lithium levels and its side effects.
This is a moderate-severity concern.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
If you take lithium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting yarrow. Your lithium dose may need adjusting, and your levels may need monitoring while taking both together.
Do not stop or change your lithium on your own.
