Mugwort stimulates uterine contractions, posing a risk of miscarriage during pregnancy. It should be avoided by pregnant individuals.
Mugwort possesses emmenagogue properties, meaning it can stimulate blood flow in the pelvic area and uterus. This stimulation can lead to uterine contractions, potentially resulting in premature labor or miscarriage during pregnancy. The strength and frequency of contractions can vary. Symptoms may include cramping, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. The extent of these effects depend on dosage, individual sensitivity, and the method of administration.
