What does motherwort look like?

Motherwort is a perennial erect plant from the same family as mint (Lamiaceae), although it does not at all resemble its fragrant relative in taste or smell. On the contrary, it is very bitter, and its smell is not the most pleasant. In favorable conditions, an adult plant can form into a tall (almost 2 meters), branched herbaceous bush with hollow stems. For some people, contact with the dark green “hairy” leaves of motherwort results in itching and allergies.

At the end of June, small flowers of pink, purple or white appear on the bushes. The flowering period of motherwort continues throughout the summer. As a rule, thickets of this grass are found in damp places, near landfills, on crushed stone and limestone soil. This picky plant can appear in both sunny and shaded areas of wastelands - hence its name. But the Latin name of this plant is translated as “lion’s tail”, since during the flowering period it resembles the brush of a lion’s tail.

Composition of the drug Motherwort

The most important active ingredient is motherwort extract. The plant has the ability to have an effect on the central nervous system. Flavonoid glycosides found in flowers and stems, as well as alkaloids, saponins and tannins, regulate the state of the nervous system, inhibiting its excitability. In addition, the natural components of the herb can regulate heart rate.

In addition to motherwort extracts, Motherwort forte contains magnesium. This element is indispensable in the formation of nerve connections and impulse transmission. Magnesium is found in all organs and tissues; its deficiency leads to behavioral disorders, decreased resistance to stress, and vulnerability to negative factors. In addition, a lack of magnesium can cause joint pain and night cramps.

Vitamin B6 is another important component of the drug. Without it, magnesium cannot be fully absorbed by the body. This vitamin helps you control your emotions and find the strength not to react sharply to negative information.

How is it useful for humans?

From a chemical point of view, motherwort is a combination of essential oils, alkaloids, glycosides, iridoids, flavonoids, terpenoids, caffeic, citric and malic acids, tannins, choline and vitamin A.

Research conducted by the Chinese indicated that the beneficial chemicals usually contained in motherwort reach their maximum concentration during the flowering period of the grass. By the way, in ancient China it enjoyed the fame of a long-living plant. In Greece, motherwort infusions were given to pregnant women to ease the process of childbirth and calm nerves after the birth of the baby. By the way, the Hellenes called this plant “mother’s grass.” In addition, the ancient Greeks used motherwort to strengthen the heart. And in medieval Europe this herb was known as a medicine for cattle.

Today this medicinal herb is known as:

• heart tonic;
• diuretic;
• antirheumatic;
• antispasmodic;
• astringent;
• carminative;
• stimulating menstruation;
• sedative.

Motherwort is considered useful for treating mild forms of Graves' disease. It has antioxidant and immunostimulating properties and has a positive effect on the central nervous system. It is known that the juice of this herb accelerates the removal of toxins from the body, and also improves the functioning of the kidneys, liver, gall and bladder.

But motherwort is best known as a heart herb (the name of one of the varieties of this plant is motherwort). Its extract is useful in the treatment of chronic cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. Some varieties of dog nettle have sedative effects, reducing muscle spasms and lowering blood pressure. Studies have shown that the herb extract slows blood clotting, prevents thrombosis, reduces the amount of fat in the blood, and also calms an overly fast heartbeat.

Herbalists use this plant to treat rheumatism, bronchitis and asthma.

The herb extract helps with thyroid overactivity, but at the same time is completely safe for healthy people, since it does not affect the healthy secretion of thyroid hormones. In traditional Chinese medicine, motherwort seeds are known as an effective diuretic. Other beneficial properties include the ability to speed up metabolism, improve digestion, relieve intestinal cramps and reduce swelling. This plant will protect men from prostate adenoma and problems with potency.

Benefits for the Cardiovascular and Nervous System

Many herbalists believe that there is no other plant in nature that is more beneficial for the heart and nervous system. The alkaloids contained in motherwort have a mild vasodilating effect and also have a relaxing effect on smooth muscles, including the heart. Dog nettle extract has been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, which is also important for the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular system. Having a mild diuretic effect, motherwort regulates blood pressure. In addition, it inhibits arterial calcification.

This herb has sedative properties, improves sleep, relieves anxiety, and regulates heartbeat. Tea made from it is useful for neuralgia and chronic fatigue. By the way, motherwort has more powerful sedative properties than valerian or lily of the valley. The digestive system will also feel the benefits of this tea. In particular, herbal medicine made from dog nettle improves well-being in cases of indigestion and intestinal inflammation.

Benefits for women's health

To treat female diseases, herbalists use the flowering tops, leaves and stems of the plant. Decoctions and infusions of them are useful for treating:

• amenorrhea;
• dysmenorrhea;
• uterine fibroids;
• ovarian cysts;
• endometriosis;
• postpartum depression;
• PMS.

Special chemicals contained in motherwort have been found to be gentle on the uterus during menstrual irregularities. The same herb, according to herbalists, is useful for women with painful menstruation. Infusions and decoctions of motherwort help fight anxiety, tachycardia, hot flashes, headaches and dizziness, sleep disturbances caused by PMS or menopause. In addition, researchers suggest that motherwort reduces the risk of developing uterine cancer, prevents infertility, improves female fertility, and also eases contractions. After childbirth, the plant extract is useful for calming the nerves and preventing postpartum depression (but during this period, the herb can only be taken with the permission of a doctor, so as not to cause bleeding).

During pregnancy, dog nettle is strictly prohibited, as it can cause miscarriage. Women with heavy menstruation should also avoid motherwort (as it can increase bleeding even more).

The stems are numerous, straight, moderately branched, tetrahedral, densely pubescent, and often have a red-violet color. The leaves are opposite, petiolate, dark green above, grayish below, pubescent. The lower leaves are larger, rounded in outline, with a heart-shaped base, palmately five-parted almost to the middle into oblong coarsely toothed lobes; middle ones - oblong-elliptical, tripartite, coarsely toothed; apical ones are simpler, narrower and solid. The flowers are collected in dense opposite half-whorls in the axils of the upper leaves, forming a long, discontinuous, spike-shaped inflorescence. The calyx is regular, tubular-bell-shaped with 5 subulate-pointed teeth. The corolla is two-lipped, twice the size of the calyx, pink or pink-violet. The upper lip is helmet-shaped, densely pubescent, the lower lip is three-lobed. There are 4 stamens, protruding from the corolla tube; pistil with a long bi-split column. The fruit is composite, breaking up into 4 triangular dark brown nuts. Blooms from June to September; the fruits ripen in September-October.

RAW MATERIALS. Medicinal raw material - motherwort herb (Herba Leonuri), consists of the tops of stems with flowers and small leaves. The presence of stems more than 4 mm thick in the raw materials is not allowed. Raw materials collected late, after flowering, when the calyxes become hard and very prickly, are unsuitable. The smell is weak herbaceous, the taste is bitter.

DISTRIBUTION AND PROCESSING. It grows in wastelands, near housing, in vegetable gardens, fallow lands, grazing meadows and among thickets of bushes.

The reserves of raw materials are significant, allowing for the production of commercial preparations. The grass is cut during the flowering period and dried in the open air or in a well-ventilated area. Shelf life - up to 3 years.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION. Choline, stachydrine and a base of unknown nature were found in the herb of motherwort, as well as tannins, saponins, sugars, ascorbic acid, flavone glycosides: rutin and quinqueloside; the latter contains the aglycone apigenin, d-glucose and n-coumaric acid, vitamins A and C.

APPLICATION. It has been established that motherwort preparations have a calming effect on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. They lower blood pressure, slow down and increase the strength of heart contractions, improve sleep, and reduce headaches. Motherwort is used as a sedative for cardiovascular neuroses, cardiosclerosis, increased nervous excitability, and early stages of hypertension.

In Russia, and in other European countries, 2 subspecies of motherworts are used for medicinal purposes - Motherwort cordalis and Motherwort shaggy (five-lobed). Motherwort's homeland is, after all, Asia, and it arrived in Europe from China along the Great Silk Road. But in Europe it took root a long time ago and became its own, primarily due to its medicinal properties. In Latin, the name of motherwort is Leonurus cardiaca. The literal translation of Leonurus means lion's tail. And this is no coincidence - the long stem ends in a tuft of leaves, reminiscent of a tassel on the tip of a lion's bare tail. Europe immediately and appreciated this plant; it was planted next to any settlement, therefore, being unpretentious, it expanded its habitat throughout Eurasia

Motherwort - appearance and features

The Russian name of this plant speaks of its favorite place of growth - wastelands. This means that motherwort loves the sun; such plants are called heleophytes. And our hero is its bright representative. Motherwort is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Lamiaceae family, as evidenced by its structure:

• Long tetrahedral stem, slightly pubescent.
• Flowers of five petals, fused in such a way that they resemble half-open lips. Color ranges from pale pink to bright lilac. The flowers form spike-shaped corollas located in the axils of the upper leaves.
• The leaves are petiolate, oval-pointed at the end, dark green below and gray-green above.
• The plant has a taproot and therefore motherwort is a tall herb, reaching up to 2 meters in height. On average, the growth of motherwort ranges from 30 to 200 cm.

Motherwort blooms from mid-June until the very end of summer. And you can collect it twice during the summer - in June and August.

There are 25 species of motherwort, but only 2 of them are considered medicinal and are used for medicinal purposes - Motherwort pentaloba and Leonurus cordis. Both of these species are very similar to each other; only a botanist or a knowledgeable herbalist can distinguish them.

Ancient Tibetan monks wrote about the benefits of this herb, and the Chinese, quietly obsessed with longevity, already sang praises to this herb in their ancient treatises on health a couple of millennia ago. The more pragmatic descendants of these ancient Chinese scrupulously studied this plant and came to the following conclusions:

• The herb tones the heart muscle, allowing the heart to beat smoothly and uninterruptedly. Arrhythmia, tachycardia, bradycardia disappear. Anyone who has encountered this problem knows how lucky it is not to experience problems with the functioning of the heart muscle.
• Like all plants that have medicinal status and belong to the Lamiaceae family, motherwort tones smooth muscles. Due to this, it is used to treat dysmenorrhea (irregular and scanty periods), atony of the intestinal muscles (persistent constipation), to stimulate kidney function, as a diuretic.
• The extract of this plant helps to change the rheological state of the blood, thereby preventing the formation of thrombosis. In addition, it reduces high blood pressure and tones the walls of blood vessels.
• Motherwort extract has antioxidant and immunostimulating properties. This means that its regular use helps strengthen cell membranes, which in turn prevents cancer.
• When the thyroid gland is overactive, motherwort extract helps reduce the production of hormones leading to an imbalance of metabolic processes. From this we can conclude that it has a positive effect on the metabolism of the body as a whole.

To provide an evidence base for such statements, you should familiarize yourself with the composition of motherwort cordis or quinqueloba:

• Flavonoids - quercetin, rutin, quinqueloside, which belong to the class of plant polyphenols. They are capable of changing the activity of many metabolic enzymes in humans and animals.
• Organic acids – coumaric, tartaric, malic, ursolic, vanillic, citric. Their main function is to maintain the acid-base balance in the human body. Oddly enough, organic acids contribute to the alkalization of internal environments, which has a healing effect on all systems of the body.
• Alkoloids – leonurine and leopuridine. These are organic compounds, which include carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, chromium, bromine. They have pronounced biological activity and have a positive effect on metabolic processes in the body.
• Motherwort extract also contains vitamins A (retinol), E (tocophorol) and C (ascorbic acid), which need no introduction.

Thanks to this composition, motherwort helps the human body overcome many ailments.

How and for what use motherwort

The very Latin name of this plant, Leonurus cardiaca, gives a hint about its main medicinal purpose - to alleviate problems with the cardiovascular system:

• Taking motherwort increases the tone of the heart muscle and slows the heart rate.
• Reduces high blood pressure and tones the walls of blood vessels during hypotension. It acts as a blood pressure stabilizer in the vessels.
• Being an excellent sedative, it reduces emotional stress on the heart and blood vessels.
• By thinning the blood, it changes its rheological state, preventing the formation of blood clots.
