🌿 Motherwort – The Calming Heart Herb

Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca), whose name means “mother’s herb,” has long been cherished in European and Chinese herbal traditions as a grounding ally for women and for emotional balance. Its bitter, earthy energy is deeply calming.

🌸 Traditionally Used To

• Support a calm, steady heart and healthy circulation

🍵 How to Use

• Tea: 1–2 teaspoons per cup, boiling water (200–212°F), steep 10–15 minutes covered. Very bitter, so it’s lovely blended with mint, lemon balm, or chamomile.
