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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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: Mugwort Flower Extract, Dry. The liquid form includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Mugwort's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive support, menstrual comfort, and relaxation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Colic, Dysmenorrhea, Insomnia, Sleep quality, Appetite stimulation — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Mugwort is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Mugwort is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Dysmenorrhea, Colic.

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Mugwort

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.

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
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

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.

Mugwort by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Mugwort by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Mugwort. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mugwort 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 this if I'm allergic to ragweed?
No—mugwort can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants. Symptoms can range from mild (rash, itchy eyes) to serious (asthma, anaphylaxis). If you have a ragweed allergy, skip this product or talk with your doctor first.
Is mugwort safe during pregnancy?
No. Mugwort has been used traditionally to stimulate the uterus and menstruation, so the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to be, don't take this.
Can I breastfeed while taking mugwort?
There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's okay for you.
Does mugwort actually work for insomnia or anxiety?
We don't have reliable evidence supporting those uses in the data we hold. Mugwort has been used traditionally for both, but stronger research is needed to know if it really helps.
What are the side effects of mugwort?
Allergic reactions are the main concern—asthma, stuffy nose, eye irritation, rash, or in rare cases a serious reaction. In one reported case, very high doses caused mania-like symptoms, though that's uncommon since thujone (the compound involved) is usually present at low levels in mugwort.
