Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check

  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.

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 Motherwort's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Motherwort 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 ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Bleeding — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for motherwort is mixed. It's possibly effective for helping with bleeding.

For anxiety, amenorrhea (absent periods), asthma, and alcohol use disorder, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works or not.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Motherwort

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.

Motherwort appears to be generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though human safety data are limited. The most common side effects from oral use are diarrhea and stomach irritation.

If you take more than 3 grams, there's a risk of uterine bleeding. Topical contact can cause skin irritation or sun sensitivity.

The safety data advises against motherwort in pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus. There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in that situation.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Motherwort might be worth considering if you're interested in its traditional uses and you don't take sedating medications. If you take sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, pain relievers, or anything else that makes you drowsy, check with your pharmacist first — the combination could make you too sedated.

Pregnant people should avoid it. Talk to your pharmacist about whether this product fits your situation.

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 motherwort if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Is motherwort safe to use long-term?
The safety data suggest it may be tolerated short-term by healthy adults, but human safety data are limited overall. For long-term use, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether this is a good choice for you.
