Motherwort: Traditional Heart & Emotional Support

Motherwort’s botanical name Leonurus cardiaca is translated “lion-hearted” (a reference to the resemblance of the plant to a lion's tail and its long history as a heart-supporting herb). And indeed, down through the centuries, Native Americans, mid-century herbalists, and modern practitioners have long relied on Motherwort for cardiovascular health.

Motherwort is equally valued for emotional wellness. The 17th-century herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, famously described it as an herb that helps “take away melancholy from the heart.” Today, Motherwort is commonly blended with herbs like Rose and Hawthorn in formulas designed to support emotional balance during times of stress or grief.

Motherwort: A Trusted Ally for Women

The common name Motherwort or “Mother’s Herb” stems from its traditional use in ancient Greek culture as a botanical mood support associated with childbirth. Its cooling, soothing, and muscle-relaxing properties also make it a trusted ally for menstrual and menopausal discomfort.

You’ll find Motherwort featured in our customer-favorite Fem-Silver Menopause liquid extract, expertly formulated to support balance and ease during life’s transitions.

How to Use Motherwort

Although part of the mint family, Motherwort is a bitter tonic. For tea, blend the cut herb with Lemon Balm or Hawthorn for a better-tasting, heart-nurturing infusion. For women’s wellness teas, pair Motherwort with Red Clover or Red Raspberry leaf.

DIY herbalists often choose Motherwort powder for encapsulation or custom blends, combining it with complementary herbs such as Valerian, Vitex, Wild Yam, or Hawthorn to create targeted formulas.
