HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Motherwort Herb by Mountain Meadow 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 1, 2026

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: Motherwort Herb Extract. Motherwort is an herbal preparation traditionally used to support bleeding and may have other traditional applications.

The extract is suspended in glycerin and distilled water as inactive ingredients.

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 we hold shows motherwort may be effective for bleeding. For anxiety, amenorrhea (absent menstrual periods), asthma, and alcohol use disorder, the data isn't established enough to rate it — meaning research is either limited or conflicting.

You'd want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current science supports for your particular use.

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 are diarrhea and stomach irritation.

Some people report contact dermatitis or photosensitivity (sun sensitivity) when the herb touches their skin or in sunlight. Doses above 3 grams may trigger uterine bleeding.

The safety data advise against use in pregnancy because motherwort is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus. There isn't enough safety information available for breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Motherwort

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 — Motherwort.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any CNS depressants — benzodiazepines, opioids, sleep aids, sedating antihistamines, or certain antidepressants. Combining motherwort with these medications increases the risk of excessive drowsiness.

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 may be worth considering if you're looking into herbal support for bleeding, though the evidence for other uses isn't established in our data. It's important to steer clear if you take sedating medications — CNS depressants are a significant interaction risk.

Check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and avoid it if you're pregnant.

Motherwort Herb by Mountain Meadow Herbs: Common Questions

Does Motherwort Herb by Mountain Meadow Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Motherwort Herb has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Motherwort Herb 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.
What does motherwort actually do?
The evidence we hold shows motherwort may be effective for bleeding. For other traditional uses like anxiety or menstrual concerns, the research data aren't strong enough to rate whether it works. Your doctor or pharmacist can talk through whether it might fit your situation.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No — the safety data advise against it. Motherwort is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, so it shouldn't be used during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or midwife about any herbal support during pregnancy.
What are the side effects?
When taken by mouth, the most common ones are diarrhea and stomach irritation. If the herb touches your skin, it can cause contact dermatitis, and it may trigger sun sensitivity in some people. Doses above 3 grams have been linked to uterine bleeding.
Is it safe to take with sleep medication?
No — motherwort can cause drowsiness on its own, and combining it with sleep aids or other sedating medications (CNS depressants) may make you too sedated. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product if you take anything for sleep, anxiety, or pain.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
There isn't enough safety information available to know. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's okay for you and your baby before using it while nursing.
