Motherwort Tincture

Motherwort is traditionally used for supporting the heart - physically and emotionally. It is often used as a long term tonic to help strengthen the heart muscles and support overall cardiovascular function. As it is a nervine, it also has calming effects and can help with anxiety, depression and general moodiness without causing drowsiness.

Motherwort is associated with calming anxiety symptoms, especially when they manifest in the chest. It promotes a sense of calm and compliments breathing exercises that focus on reducing tension in the diaphragm.

Motherwort (suggestive of its name) is a key herb in supporting women’s reproductive health, especially during periods of transition including menarche, childbirth and menopause. It helps to ease these transitions by supporting both the nervous and cardiovascular systems. It is a uterine tonic and helps to regulate the menstrual cycle, specifically in cases where stress or tension can cause irregular cycles and bleeding.

Ours has been extracted using 100 proof cane sugar spirits in a 1:2 ratio.

As with most tinctures, for adults we recommend a dropperful (roughly 20-30 drops) added to water, or other beverage of your choice, one to three times a day depending on your condition. Children should have half this volume and children under 3 should not be given this tincture due to the alcohol content.
