Motherwort in both Western and Eastern herbalism is named for its ability to treat female reproductive issues from irregular menses, to pregnancy, to menopausal upsets. The herb is also highly effective as a cardiotonic helping to regulate blood pressure, heart rhythms, chest pain, and anxiety attacks impacting heart function. The herb is often used to help calm emotional upsets and stress that could use some gentle, yet powerful, mothering.
