HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Siberian Motherwort 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: a liquid extract made from the dried leaf of wildcrafted Siberian Motherwort. The extract is prepared using a menstruum (a liquid used in herbal extraction).

That's the full active ingredient here — no other active herbs or compounds.

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 we have is mixed. For bleeding, motherwort is rated possibly effective, which means there's some support but it's not definitive.

For anxiety, amenorrhea (absent periods), asthma, and alcohol use disorder, the evidence is rated insufficient — we simply don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those uses. If you're considering motherwort for any of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist about what the current research shows.

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.

When taken by mouth, motherwort appears to be generally well tolerated, but human safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported with oral use are diarrhea and stomach irritation.

Higher doses — more than 3 grams — can trigger uterine bleeding. If applied to the skin, it may cause contact dermatitis (a rash from direct contact) or photosensitivity (a heightened burn reaction in sunlight).

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy, as motherwort is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus. There is not enough safety information available for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

If you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Motherwort.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications, some pain relievers) — motherwort may increase drowsiness with these drugs. Use the medication checker below to verify your exact prescriptions before taking this supplement.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Motherwort may be worth considering if you're looking into herbal support for bleeding, but evidence for other common uses like anxiety is not yet established. If you take CNS depressants — sedatives, sleep aids, or certain pain relievers — check your medications with the tool on this page before starting.
