Motherwort | Organic | Kosher

Motherwort, Leonurus cardiaca ~ Bitter, aromatic, and slightly sweet, Motherwort’s name alludes to some traditional uses such as in encouraging labor when applied topically. It is generally considered a moving remedy, and the Latin cardiaca refers to its use for the heart and nervous conditions. It is still listed in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia for palpitations and anxiety.

Motherwort is loved for its calming properties and energetics relating to the heart. It has been used in traditional herbalism for its beneficial properties and is considered cooling and drying. Motherwort can be used in tincturing or steeped to make a cup of relaxing motherwort tea.

Motherwort has dull green, hairy leaves and an intensely bitter taste. The botanical name Leonurus refers to a fanciful resemblance of the leaves to a lion's tail. One rather odd Hindu tale relates that if you make a tea of motherwort and add it to the laundry when you wash your socks and underwear, you will bring peace to your home. Traditionally used as a tea. Frequently combined with hawthorn. May also be taken as an extract or capsule.
