A remedy for colds, chest colds in particular.  Kills worms. has a excellent effect if taken during pregnancy.  Good for liver infections and suppressed urine flow.

MotherWort should be taken warm, and a hot fomentation wrung out of the strong tea will relieve cramps and pain due to painful menstruation. Take 1/2 teaspoon three times daily in a glass of water for continued benefits.

The entire plant is usable with the medicinal properties being an antispasmodic, laxative, tonic, hepatic and excellent nervine.

I was absolutely stunned how quickly this particular herb reacts with such benefits to the body, I tried it myself with excellent results.

The scientific name for the MotherWort is Leonuru Cardiaca and the more common names for it are lion’s tail, lion’s ear, and throw-wort (don’t ask me why because I don’t know?), but any name you give its one of natures true health remedies around.

Please consult your family physician or holistic intern BEFORE taking any herbs or medications.
