Here is the first in a short series of posts about the benefits of Motherwort, a
mint-family plant that is in bloom from mid-to-late summer. Motherwort has a
distinctive square stem (a mint family trait!) and can be identified by its
small, spiky purple flowers.
Disclaimer: Motherwort can stimulate uterine contractions and is unsafe for
pregnant women. It may interact with heart medications and blood thinners.
Anyone with heart conditions, bleeding disorders, or other health concerns
should consult a doctor before use.
1) The Lion-Hearted Ally
Look what's flourishing this time of year! Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca), the
lion-hearted ally, is in bloom, offering its steadfast support just as many of
us are entering the busy, stressful end of summer. Known for its ability to calm
the emotional and physical heart, this striking plant provides strength when we
feel overwhelmed. It acts as a gentle nervine, helping to soothe and ground a
racing mind and heart that can accompany feelings of anxiety. 🍃
