Full

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

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's effectiveness is mixed and limited. It's rated possibly effective for bleeding.

For anxiety, amenorrhea (absent periods), asthma, and alcohol use disorder, there isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it works. If you're considering it for one of those conditions, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the science actually supports.

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.

Topically (on skin), it can cause contact dermatitis or photosensitivity reactions. Amounts over 3 grams taken by mouth may trigger uterine bleeding.

Pregnancy safety is a major concern: motherwort is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus. There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing or planning to become pregnant.

Motherwort Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Motherwort Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Motherwort Powder 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 Powder 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 motherwort if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Motherwort is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus — don't use it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What are the common side effects?
When taken by mouth, the most common side effects are diarrhea and stomach irritation. On skin, it can cause rash or increased sun sensitivity. Doses over 3 grams taken orally may cause uterine bleeding.
Does motherwort actually work for anxiety?
There isn't enough reliable evidence right now to say whether motherwort works for anxiety. If you're considering it for that reason, your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh the options.
Why can't I take this with sleep aids?
Motherwort causes drowsiness on its own, and when you combine it with sedating drugs like sleep aids or anti-anxiety meds, the drowsiness can become dangerous — you could be too impaired to function safely. That's why it's a Moderate-severity interaction worth checking before you start.
