Motherwort Capsules

The Heart Herb. For Body and Mind.

Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) — whose Latin name translates as "lion-hearted" — has been used in European, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine for over 2,000 years as a cardiac tonic and nervine. Its primary active compound, leonurine, produces mild sedative, antispasmodic, and cardiovascular effects that make it uniquely suited for anxiety accompanied by heart palpitations.

What Motherwort Actually Does

• Reduces anxiety & palpitations — A 2011 study found significant reductions in anxiety and heart palpitations in hypertensive patients
• Cardiovascular support — Mild antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic effects from leonurine and stachydrine
• Nervous system calm — Iridoids and flavonoids produce gentle sedative and antispasmodic effects
• Women's health — Traditional use for menstrual irregularities supported by leonurine's uterotonic activity

⚠️ Contraindications

Contraindicated during pregnancy — leonurine stimulates uterine contractions. Avoid with anticoagulants and cardiac medications without medical supervision.

Who This Is For

Motherwort is ideal for anyone experiencing anxiety with heart palpitations, mild hypertension, or nervous tension. Best used consistently for cardiovascular and anxiety support.

Pairs well with: Skullcap (nervous system), Valerian Root (sleep + calm), Hawthorn (cardiovascular).
