Motherwort Tincture
Motherwort is a perennial member of the mint family that is often found at the edges of woodlands and in disturbed soils. It is widely distributed throughout North America and Europe and is sometimes considered invasive.
Edible Use: flowers are edible and is BY-SA 3.0 used as a flavoring in pea soups, beer, or for making tea. The flavor is very bitter, so the leaves are rarely eaten.
Identification: Motherwort is an upright bush that can grow to 6 1/2 feet tall (2m) and 3 feet (0.9m) or more wide. Motherwort leaves vary in size and shape along the stem. They are dark green on top and pale below. Lower leaves are deeply lobed with large teeth and can resemble maple or oak leaves.
They can reach five inches long and wide, and are hairy. Moving up the plant, the leaves become smaller with smaller lobes and teeth. At the top of the plant, leaves are usually small, narrow, and unlobed.
The stems are square, hairy, and branch only at the upper part of the plant.
Hairy pale pink to lavender flowers grow in whorls alternating up the stem at the leaf nodes on the upper part of the plant. They bloom June through early September. The calyx remains on the plant through the winter, becoming brown and stiff when dry. Inside the lobes are 4 nutlets.
Women’s Health Issues (Birth, Delayed Menstruation, PMS): Expectant mothers use motherwort to reduce stress and tension at delivery time (do not take while pregnant). During delivery, it strengthens uterine contractions. It is believed that motherwort can also help the uterus recover after birth.
Medicinal Use: Motherwort is best known for its benefits to the heart and for treating women’s complaints. The leaves and flowers are the parts of the plant usually used for medicine.
Heart Health: Motherwort has a reputation for treating a wide variety of heart conditions. It is used to prevent calcification of the arteries, treating high cholesterol, hypertension, and other heart conditions.
Motherwort regulates the heart rate, treating rapid heartbeats and improves blood circulation in the body.
Prevents Strokes: This herb reduces the risk of blood clots forming in the body, thereby reducing the risk of strokes from blood clots.
The herb is also effective at treating menstrual issues and regulating female hormones. It is an emmenagogue (stimulates menstrual flow) and thus helps with delayed menstruation. Herbalists use it to tone the uterus when menstruation is scant or to relieve cramps associated with delayed menstruation and PMS.
Anxiety and Depression: Motherwort is believed to have a calming effect on the central nervous system and reduces stress, anxiety, worry, and panic attacks. It lifts the mood and reduces depression. For best results in reducing anxiety and depression, use motherwort regularly.
Hyperthyroidism: Motherwort relieves many of the symptoms of an over-active thyroid (hyperthyroidism). It regulates the metabolism, the nervous system, and relieves heart palpitations and anxiety caused by an over-active thyroid. It also helps increase the appetite and improves the overall thyroid health.
Insomnia and Sleep Problems: The calming effects of motherwort help improve sleep problems such as insomnia and restlessness.
Warning: Pregnant women should use the herb under the supervision of a medical professional. It can expedite labor and increase contractions.
