Motherwort Elixir with Blackberry & Hawthorn Berry: The Abounding. For Calm, Heart Health, Digestion, and Protection.

Motherwort Elixir with Blackberry & Hawthorn Berry!

I started a love affair with Motherwort a few years ago and relish the moments that I get to take her. I struggled to grow Motherwort at our last home, so imagine my ecstasy when I realized that our new home and area is basically surrounded by this generous plant. It was immediately my choice for the season of Abundance.

Motherwort has been used traditionally to strengthen the heart and lower blood pressure, including those times when panic and anxiety take over our heartbeat. Being in the Mint family, it is also helpful with calming nerves and helping with digestive distress as a bitter agent.

Motherwort gets its name from its historical help in regulating the menstrual cycle (bloating, pms, cramps, irregularity), as a postpartum aid (pain, uterine toner, and lactation booster), and as a help during menopause (hot flashes and emotional swings).

Magically, Motherwort has been used for healing heartache (including pain around maternal dynamics and motherhood). It gives a more balanced outlook on life while supporting our bodies and hearts. Motherwort is often connected with immortality and longevity.

Associated with Freya, it is a protector of women and children. On a personal note, I discovered that the dried leaves smell like sitting on my Monie’s porchswing- like smoke and fresh cut grass. I’m not sure why they smell a bit smoky when dried, but even the scent heals my heart every time.

I love the pairing of Motherwort with Blackberry to add some sweet depths to this magical protector. Blackberry is traditionally associated with Lughnasadh, since it has been used to honor the Goddess and attract prosperity.

Motherwort Elixir is also available in the Summer Elixir Bundle with Lemon Balm and Lemon Verbena from Litha.

*Though, I mostly only work with tonic herbs, please do research on all your herbs before taking them as contraindications can happen on a personal level. For example, Motherwort can stimulate the uterus and should be avoided during pregnancy.
