Motherwort Elixir

Leonurus cardiaca

As the Latin name shows, Motherwort is called “Lion-hearted” and is beneficial for all things relating to the heart. It was traditionally used to help regulate high blood pressure and calm a racing heart. It can be used to help treat cardiac disorders, lower high blood pressure, regulate heart palpitations, and calm the body. If menstruation is delayed (without pregnancy), motherwort can be used to encourage the uterus to relax and stimulate it to begin moving blood down and out. It can be used to ease the pain of cramps, and any headaches or mood swings that might accompany your period. It is an amazing postpartum support as it can help to calm after birth pains.
