Side Effects

Efficacy of Mugwort as an Alternative Medicine According to GRADE* Ranking [1, 2, 3]:

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It has been proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has been discounted due life-threatening side effects

Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that mugwort helps to treat any of the above conditions. More research is needed.)

Grade of Evidence: Very low level of evidence
