Introducing motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) tincture! Motherwort was traditionally used to ease anxiety in mothers. However recent research suggests it is a helpful nervine to calm emotions, heart palpitations, and anxiety. This herb is a female ally believed to ease menstrual cramps, balance PMS, improve circulation, and help move along slow or sluggish menstruation. It is also a powerful herb said to bring balance and grace to menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, and anxiety.
 
On top of that some believe motherwort is a useful herb to aid digestion as well. In a recent study, an oil extract of motherwort was administered to 50 patients with a first and second degree of hypertension, and symptoms such as anxiety and sleep disorders. In patients with a first degree of hypertension, a reduction in the symptoms of anxiety, emotional instability, headaches and sleep disorders was achieved. After 21 days, there was a significant decrease in and normalisation of blood pressure (from 145/96 to 130/87), and the patients reported they experienced less fatigue, improved mood and activity. However, their reduction in heart rate (from 81.7 to 75.4) was not statistically significant. A considerable drop in blood pressure (from 153/103 to 142/92) in patients with a second degree of hypertension occurred a week later than the first group. The psycho-emotional condition of the patients (anxiety, emotional lability, headache and sleep disturbances) was improved seven days before their blood pressure lowered. The hypotensive, anxiolytic and calming effect may have been caused by iridoids, while the lack of anti-arrhythmic action may have resulted from the absence of alkaloids in the prepared extract.
