Motherwort is a member of the mint family with a history as rich as its deep-green hue. Traditionally called Leonurus cardiaca, this plant was a staple in 15th-century European gardens. Early herbalists and folk traditions often looked to Motherwort during times of transition, earning it a reputation as a steadying presence in the botanical world.

The Experience: Sensory Profile & Origin
Our Motherwort Herb Powder is milled from aerial parts, offering a robust, earthy aroma that hints at its wild-crafted roots. Because Motherwort is naturally rich in alkaloids and iridoids, it possesses a decidedly bitter taste. This bitter quality is highly prized in traditional practices for its role in awakening the palate.
- Taste: Intensely bitter, herbaceous, and grassy.
- Aroma: Dry, hay-like, with a spicy undertone.
- Source: Sustainably harvested leaves and flowers dried at low temperatures.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, mix 1/2 teaspoon (approx. 1 g) into 8 ounces of hot water and steep 10 to 15 minutes. Naturally very bitter; sweeten with honey or blend with mint. Enjoy once daily.
Storage
- Stability: Dried aerial parts are stable, but light degrades the green chlorophyll and essential oils.
- How to store: Store in an airtight, opaque container in a cool environment.
- Shelf Life: 24 months.
Safety
- PREGNANCY WARNING: Do NOT use if pregnant. Motherwort is a uterine stimulant and emmenagogue (stimulates menstrual flow), which can cause contractions.*
