Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) Tincture 2 fluid ounces in an amber glass dropper bottle. 

The Lion-Hearted Mother of the Garden

With leaves like open hands and a presence both fierce and tender, Motherwort is a plant of deep holding. Known through centuries as a balm for the heart and womb, she stands beside those in transition—soothing nerves, easing tension, and whispering strength into fragile moments.

Traditional Uses
In European folk traditions, Motherwort was given to women after childbirth to calm the nerves, encourage uterine tone, and protect the heart. Her Latin name Leonurus cardiaca—“lion-hearted”—reflects her ancient reputation for easing palpitations, anxiety, and emotional unrest. She was often brewed as tea, made into tinctures, or carried as a talisman for emotional support. Common Uses
Today, Motherwort is known as a nervine, cardiotonic, and uterine tonic. She is a trusted ally during perimenopause, menstrual imbalance, postpartum recovery, and any time of heightened emotional stress. She helps calm racing thoughts, regulate heartbeat, and ease cramps or tension in the womb. Many turn to her during panic attacks or times of grief, when grounding and comfort are most needed.

Energetics
Motherwort is cooling, slightly bitter, and deeply moving. She clears heat from the heart, softens irritability, and brings circulation to where there is stagnation—especially in the uterus, chest, and emotional body. She is a plant of release and restoration, often described as a mother who holds you and tells the truth all at once.
