Motherwort Liquid Extract Tincture - Leonurus cardiaca 50ml

Motherwort has a long history of medicinal use. With a name like cardiaca, this herb might be expected to help heart problems, and science confirms that is does. Chinese studies show that it helps to slow a rapid heartbeat, generally improving cardiac activity. It also helps tranquillize the nervous system, reducing the anxiety, nervous tension and stress that may accompany or trigger heart problems.

The name also gives a clue as to the other use of the herb. Motherwort is also well known for its use in conditions affecting women and has been used for centuries for treating conditions relating to childbirth. It is useful for treating amenorrhoea as it an emmenagogue and contains chemicals that affect the uterus in several ways, including the promotion of menstrual blood flow. It may also be used to start delayed periods and, if taken on a continual basis, may help regulate abnormal menstrual cycles and to treat menopausal and menstrual complaints.

It also has been used as a uterine tonic before and after childbirth. The herb contains a chemical called leonurine, which encourages uterine contractions.

Motherwort may also have relaxing effects on the nervous system, making it potentially useful for relieving both the physical symptoms (such as bloating and cramps) and the emotional symptoms (such as irritability) of premenstrual syndrome and menopause.

Motherwort is also helpful for anxiety, irritability and stress and may be particularly effective when heart rhythm speeds up due to nervousness.

Motherwort may also be used to ease stomach gas and help with insomnia.
