Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) Herb |
Motherwort is an herb of the blood and helps maintain heart health. It is considered calming and soothing to the nerves. The word cardiaca in the Latin name demonstrates that it has a long history as a heart tonic herb. The translation of Motherwort is “mother herb,” since a tea helps the woman’s reproductive system by assisting with some of the discomforts that may arise with menses and menopause.
The herb contains the alkaloid leonurine, which is a mild vasodilator and has a relaxing effect on smooth muscles. For this reason, it has long been used as a cardiac tonic, nervine, and an emmenagogue (stimulates uterus and promotes menstrual flow).The herb can calm the heart and ease palpitations that result from anxiety attacks or other nervous complaints.
Historically Motherwort has been a medicine to treat heart weakness, absence of periods and any cardiac symptoms associated with nerves.
