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: certified organic Mugwort extract. Mugwort is an herbal extract that's been used traditionally for a range of purposes, including anxiety, sleep, and digestive concerns.
The liquid comes suspended in vegetable palm glycerin and pharmaceutical-grade alcohol.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for mugwort isn't established in the data we hold. For anxiety, epilepsy, high blood pressure, insomnia, and parasite infection — all uses tied to mugwort — there's insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.
If you're considering it for any of these reasons, your pharmacist or doctor can help you weigh what the broader research says.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Mugwort is generally well tolerated, but a few cautions matter. People sensitive to ragweed and related plants can have allergic reactions when taking mugwort orally — symptoms have ranged from asthma and rash to, rarely, anaphylaxis.
One case reported mania in a man who drank a large volume of mugwort infusion; thujone (a compound in mugwort) was suspected, though thujone levels in mugwort are normally low and can vary. Mugwort should be avoided during pregnancy because it's traditionally used to stimulate the uterus and menstruation, and there isn't enough safety data to recommend it while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we checked in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Mugwort is a single-ingredient herbal extract with no documented medication interactions. If you have a ragweed allergy or are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's not the right choice.
For everyone else, run your medications through the checker below before you start, and talk with your pharmacist about whether the evidence supports its use for what you're after.
