Motherwort: Leonurus cardiaca

Motherwort: Leonurus cardiaca

Family:

Lamiaceae

 

Part Used:

Aerial parts. 

 

Energetics & Taste:

Bitter, cooling, and drying.

 

Habitat:

Native to Central Asia and naturalized in Europe and North America.

 

Key Benefits:

Motherwort is a powerful cardiac nervine, specifically soothing anxiety that manifests in the heart, such as stress-induced hypertension or palpitations. Its botanical name, Leonurus cardiaca, directly translates to "lion-hearted," reflecting its strong affinity for the heart. Motherwort is especially nurturing for those needing motherly love, whether without a mother, giving your all as a mom, or healing maternal wounds. As a nervine and female tonic, it is invaluable for alleviating menopausal, menstrual, and postpartum anxiety. Additionally, motherwort eases menstrual cramps, supports PMS relief, and acts as a uterine stimulant, making it beneficial for amenorrhea.

Contraindications: 

Not to be used in pregnancy.
