Fall Harvest: Motherwort Tincture

 


Fall harvest! Soon to be motherwort tincture: (Leonurus cardiaca) this 'lion-hearted' medicinal botanical from the mint family may be helpful for calming, for reducing anxiety, (who can't use that these days?🤔) can help relieve palpitations, and is useful for PMS irritability. She can also be used as a mild diuretic and bitter tonic for digestive health. She was a volunteer this year, and a welcome addition to my medicinal backyard.
