What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Mugwort against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mugwort by Hawaii Pharm
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
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: Mugwort Flower Extract, Dry. The liquid form includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for mugwort isn't established in the data we hold. It's been used traditionally for anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure, seizures (epilepsy), and intestinal parasites, but we don't have reliable studies backing those uses.
If you're thinking about it for any of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Mugwort can trigger allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants—symptoms can range from a rash or itching to asthma, stuffy nose, eye irritation, or in rare cases, severe reaction (anaphylaxis). There's also a rare risk of mania tied to very high levels of a compound called thujone, though levels in mugwort are usually low.
Because of its traditional use to stimulate the uterus, it should be avoided during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety data to recommend it while breastfeeding either.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check. That said, always bring a list of your medications to your pharmacist before starting any new supplement.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Mugwort is used traditionally for several conditions, but we don't have strong evidence it works for any of them. The main concern is allergic reaction, particularly if you're sensitive to ragweed.
Avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have questions about whether it's right for you, check with your pharmacist.
