Motherwort // dried herb

Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)

Organically grown

✧ Herbal Energetics & Traditional Uses

Motherwort has long been honored as a steadying presence for both heart and womb. In Western herbal traditions, it has been used to support the cardiovascular system and to ease tension held in the chest and belly. It is especially known for its ability to support the nervous system during times of emotional overwhelm or transition.

Energetically, motherwort is cooling, slightly drying, and diffusive. It has been turned to in moments of restlessness, hormonal shifts, and sorrow that lodges in the body. A strong bitter with a deeply maternal spirit, it invites exhale and soft reentry.

✧ Magical & Energetic Properties

Motherwort carries the signature of fierce tenderness. It is an herb for the overextended heart, for those who carry too much and feel too deeply. In folk magic it has been used to strengthen courage, protect the spirit, and anchor those in liminal or transitional times.

It is a plant of boundaries and belonging. A reminder that the Great Mother does not coddle but holds. She steadies. She does not flinch when your heart races or breaks. She just says, I am here.
