Motherwort has been known for its possible benefits to support the heart, a tonic for women’s health issues, from menstrual cramps, PMS to hot flashes. And like the best loving mother, this herb can calm the nerves & strengthen the heart. Known as a “shoulder to cry on.”

The bitter taste can bring on a shudder sensation that is consistent with other relaxing nervine herbs. This action reflects a sort of “shaking off” of stress & tension from the body. The bitterness also signifies the herb’s action on the liver & digestive system.*
