HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yarrow Pom by doTERRA

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Yarrow | Pom Active Botanical Nutritive Duo” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (60 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Yarrow Pom contains two active ingredients: pomegranate seed oil and yarrow oil, working together as what doTERRA calls a nutritive duo. Pomegranate seed oil is a concentrated extract from pomegranate seeds; yarrow oil is derived from the yarrow plant.

The product has no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Hypertension — rated "Possibly Effective" (Pomegranate) (Natural Medicines).

For pomegranate, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for high blood pressure (hypertension) — meaning some research supports it, but more study is needed. For cholesterol and blood sugar, pomegranate rates as possibly ineffective.

For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say one way or the other. For yarrow, the evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for the conditions studied — wound healing, eczema, painful periods, tonsillitis, and yeast infections all fall into insufficient evidence to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow Pomegranate

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pomegranate fruit and juice are generally well tolerated as food, and pomegranate seed oil (as in this product) seems well tolerated too. The main caution is that concentrated pomegranate supplements haven't been studied extensively, so use care.

The most common side effects from pomegranate are mild — diarrhea and gas, reported in a small percentage of people taking extracts. Yarrow oil is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, but human safety data are limited and allergic reactions can happen, especially skin reactions (dermatitis or rash) when applied topically.

Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus, and there's not enough safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow Pomegranate

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Yarrow, Pomegranate.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; lithium.
  • For scale: 926 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.

Check your medications before starting if you take blood thinners (like warfarin), blood pressure drugs, ACE inhibitors, lithium, or statins — these carry Moderate-severity interactions with pomegranate or yarrow. Also double-check if you're on drugs that your liver metabolizes via the CYP2D6 enzyme system, since pomegranate may raise their levels.

No interactions are documented in our data for the yarrow component beyond lithium.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have high blood pressure and aren't on medications, pomegranate might be worth talking about with your doctor. If you're already on blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, lithium, or a statin, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this — the interactions could affect how your medications work.

Yarrow's effectiveness for its traditional uses isn't well established, and safety data in people are limited. This product is a conversation starter, not a standalone decision.

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.
