Click here to send me a quick message :)

Oh, motherwort! Such an indispensable herb for those of us with wombs. 

Motherwort. Leonorus cardiaca.  

No matter what phase of life you're in, there's likely some way motherwort can support you... and I'm really not exaggerating. 

Motherwort is specific for everything from anxiety + stress (which can often be exacerbated by hormonal shifts), to easing menstrual cramps, to supporting a mama or parent postpartum to calming a racing heart which is common in perimenopause. 

Truly, an herb for all seasons of our wombs.
