HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mugwort by Herbal Terra

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: certified organic Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) as a dried herb liquid extract. The extract is suspended in menstruum, an inactive carrier liquid that helps you absorb the herb.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Mugwort product and its label doesn't state a use — see Mugwort's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for mugwort isn't established in the data we hold. It's been used traditionally for anxiety, epilepsy, high blood pressure, insomnia, and parasitic infections, but we don't have reliable evidence to rate how well it actually works for any of these.

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 stuffy nose to asthma, red eyes, or in rare cases, a serious allergic reaction. There's also a report of mania in someone who took a very large amount of mugwort infusion; the effect was linked to thujone, a compound present in mugwort, though levels vary.

The safety data advises against mugwort during pregnancy because it's traditionally used to stimulate the uterus and menstruation. There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Meds to double-check

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 traditional herb with no documented drug interactions, but its effectiveness for common uses isn't well established. If you're pregnant, skip it.

If you're allergic to ragweed, be cautious—allergic reactions are possible. Talk with us before you start if you're breastfeeding or have questions about whether it's right for you.

Mugwort by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Mugwort by Herbal Terra 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 pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against mugwort during pregnancy because it's traditionally used to stimulate the uterus and menstruation. Talk with your doctor before considering it.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What's the risk of an allergic reaction?
If you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants, mugwort can trigger allergies—anything from a rash or congestion to asthma, red eyes, or rarely, a serious reaction. Stop and seek help if you notice any of these.
Does mugwort actually help with insomnia or anxiety?
We don't have reliable evidence to say whether it works. It's been used traditionally for both, but the science isn't established in the data we hold.
