Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Herb Pharm are a very ethical and quality-conscious company. I have relied on them for effective herbal tinctures for nearly 20 years now! The herbalists are careful to choose the correct parts of the herbs for the purpose intended of the remedy as well as Herb Pharm is very involved in making certain their supplies hail from verifiable quality sources and harvested at the appropriate time to maximize the medicinal properties.Herb Pharm are conscious regarding protecting the wild and native sources, maintaining balance for the ecological environment of the herbs. Motherwort, Leonurus cardiaca, is very important remedy for those of us wishing to avoid the harsh imbalances of pharmaceutical chemicals to treat ailments. By name, one often thinks of women's conditions... and it is definitely remarkable for providing real relief in that area. I just want to mention that, as the name implies (Leonurus cardiaca = lion heart), Motherwort is also a very worthy heart tonic, too. The heart muscle and the uterine muscle are both tonified by Motherwort, which provides easily assimilable minerals, trace elements, and an alkaloid specifically tonifying to both the cardiac and the uterine muscle. Motherwort strengthens the heart, reduces palpitations and tachycardia, and lessens blood pressure. Motherwort also relieves uterine pain associated with a number of female ailments by providing a high Calcium calming effect. 5-10 drops every ten minutes as needed to relieve the pain of menstruation and eliminate cramping. A caveat: use sparingly if you tend to menorrhagia. Additionally, Motherwort restores vaginal wall thickness and elasticity; reduces water retention; relieves constipation; and lifts depression. Motherwort is NOT sedating...but calming. So one is relaxed but also alert and rational. For these reasons, Motherwort is well loved for its benefits in menopause too. Motherwort lessens the severity and the faintness of hot flashes. Eventually with use, Motherwort will also reduce the event of hot flashes nearly completely. Motherwort is a "go-to" remedy for relief of stress and anxiety too. And the big hurrah is that Motherwort remedies insomnia! I cannot say enough of the benefits of including Motherwort in your medicine cabinet. I strongly encourage you to read and learn about Motherwort first from a reputable herbal expert such as Susun Weed or Michael Tierra. Read to learn the best amounts to take, for what and when to use this gift of our earth. I finish by saying that, yes, Motherwort is very bitter. The strong taste is why the remedy is best used in a tincture or vinegar form. Sublingual dosing is considered the most effective route for taking the herb because the tincture form will allow the medical properties to enter the bloodstream immediately via the surface circulation beneath your tongue. We take it in a strong swish and swallow of dark tea or coffee...or in a mouthful of thick juice. Despite the bitter taste, Motherwort does not let me down when I need her most. Use with gratitude ;)
