Leonurus cardiaca
As indicated by its scientific name leonurus cardiaca, motherwort is a cardiac tonic. It is great for helping to restore blood vessels to the heart, lowering blood pressure, strengthening electrical activity in the heart, and easing heart palpitations due to tension and anxiety. Motherwort is used for calming heart, mind, and body. It also makes a great uterine tonic. It can be used to alleviate acute menstrual cramps, and if taken for a few months as a tonic, it may significantly reduce or alleviate them. It is great for soothing the mind and body during menopause. Motherwort can also be helpful for those with pain from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Because it acts on both the uterine system and the heart, motherwort is an excellent healing herb for those who have suffered emotional trauma related to the uterus or to sexuality. Due to its bitterness and its calming and antispasmodic action, it may be useful for nervous constipation, or constipation related to shifts in one’s routine.
*Those with endometriosis or fibroids should not use motherwort regularly. This may not be a complete list of all possible contraindications*

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
