Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)
Motherwort is a perennial herb with delicate pink flowers that thrives along sunny garden edges, beside paths and close to human settlements. Even its name reflects its long association with the heart and inner balance. The Latin word cardiaca means “of the heart”, while Leonurus translates as “lion’s tail”, referring to the plant’s distinctive appearance.
It belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae), which includes many other aromatic and medicinal plants.
In herbalism, we use the flowering herb (herba cum flore), harvested during the peak flowering season, when the plant is rich in its characteristic natural compounds.
Interestingly, its English name, motherwort, reflects its traditional association with women’s health and well-being. The plant has a slightly bitter taste, characteristic of many herbs traditionally associated with inner balance.
Motherwort has traditionally been used during periods of inner tension, restlessness and emotional stress, as well as to support women throughout the menstrual cycle. It is also often incorporated into herbal routines focused on general well-being and a sense of calm.
In traditional herbalism, motherwort is associated with supporting normal heart function, the nervous system and a sense of calm and inner stability.
