Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) is a favored nervine herbal remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With a long history as a "cardiotonic” herb, motherwort is a powerful remedy for all heart ailments. Especially known for treating viral myocarditis, motherwort also strengthens the entire heart muscle, and eases heart arrhythmia.
Motherwort is a most interesting herb, because not only does it improve the condition of the physical heart, but it also works to soothe the heart emotionally. This is important because tension, worry and stress can bring on heart problems, too. So, not only outside causes such as viruses can cause heart problems, but our own emotions can cause heart harm. Motherwort is useful to stop a racing heart and heart palpitations. For this reason, it can also be used to relax an overactive mind and to help sleep.
