Healing Properties

Motherwort: Motherwort or 'Mothers Herb' is used to support the female reproductive system. Known as an emmenogogue, Motherwort acts as a uterine tonic which helps to regulate menstruation, bring on delayed periods and can reduce smooth muscle cramping.

It restores tone and vitality to the uterus and is used for issues associated with the reproductive system such as painful and irregular periods. The salicylates in the herb have anti-inflammatory affect which can alleviate pain.
