Motherwort Extract Powder (Leonurus heterophylis)

Motherwort is an herb in the mint family. It is used as a remedy for female reproductive disorders. For instance, it's purported to help regulate menstrual periods, especially when someone is anxious or tense.

Many herbalists consider this plant one of the best for “gladdening and strengthening the heart”. The herb has been used traditionally by many cultures, European, Native American, Chinese, and North American Herbalists for a variety of endocrine related issues, and as a tonic for Women’s uterine health.

"The use of motherwort is practically the same in European folk medicine and traditional Chinese herbal medicine. It was widely used to regulate menses and to treat associated conditions. It was also considered a helpful diuretic and heart-strengthening herb by herbalists in both cultures, particularly to alleviate heart palpitations associated with anxiety attacks. Europeans used motherwort as a sedative as well."
