Traditional use

The Motherwort herb is especially aligned with the healing of women – hence the name! However, that’s not to say it cannot be an extremely beneficial herb for men too.

Its Latin name “Leonurus Cardiaca” means “Lion’s Heart”, with cardiac referencing the heart – the organ this plant has a strong affinity with.

It was used by the Ancient Greeks to relieve stress in pregnant women, and for what we now know as post-natal depression. It was introduced to North America by the colonists, where it was used by the Cherokee Indians as a sedative for anxious distress, whilst the 19th-century Eclectics urged Motherwort as an emmenagogue (to promote menstruation), and aid in the expulsion of afterbirth.
