Motherwort - menstrual support

Motherwort is made from a herb traditionally used to support women's health, particularly during menstruation. This natural supplement is formulated to provide relief for women experiencing premenstrual symptoms such as bloating, mood swings and cramps. Motherwort's active ingredients may help alleviate these unwanted side effects.

A fast-acting tonic and calmative, motherwort is generally used in acute situations—to calm the nerves and slow the heart rate during moments of increased anxiety, or to address menstruation/menopausal concerns.

Taking 20-30 drops of motherwort tincture usually takes the edge and intensity off cramps, hot flashes and hormonal mood swings within a half hour.

You can also experiment with taking motherwort preventatively—in your menstrual years, it will be most effective taken in the last two weeks of your cycle, from ovulation to menstruation.
