- Has a generally calming effect on the heart that can ease palpitations due to anxiety and hyperthyroidism (nervine relaxant).
- Tonifying to the muscles and tissues of both the heart and uterus (cardiac & uterine tonic).
- Traditionally used to bring on delayed menses (uterine stimulant- an herb that brings blood flow to the pelvic area) and can help alleviate symptoms of PMS like cramping.

- A bitter mint family plant, motherwort stimulates digestion and the liver. Has a calming effect on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract.

Hawthorne
- Hawthorne haws, or berries, are another classic heart nourisher and are related to apples.
- Hawthorne’s heart healing properties have been noted and used since ancient times for grief, loss, high blood pressure & heart imbalances.
- Actions include cardiac tonic, blood pressure normalizing & antioxidant.
- The myocardium is the muscular layer of the heart. It consists of cardiac muscle cells arranged in overlapping spiral patterns. Phytonutrients in hawthorne have been shown to protect the myocardium against oxidative damage and prevent oxidized cholesterol from accumulating in vessel walls.
Rosehips
- High in Vitamin C: Rosehips are a rich source of Vitamin C, which supports immune function, collagen production, and antioxidant activity in the body.
- Anti-inflammatory effects: Rosehips contain various bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, that possess anti-inflammatory properties, potentially beneficial for conditions like arthritis.
- Immune-boosting properties: The Vitamin C content in rosehips helps strengthen the immune system, promoting overall health and resilience against infections.
- Antioxidant activity: Rosehips are packed with antioxidants, including carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamin E, which help protect the body against free radicals and oxidative stress.
Synergy with motherwort and hawthorn:
- Emotional balance and relaxation: Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) is known for its calming and soothing effects on the nervous system, helping to alleviate anxiety, stress, and promote emotional well-being. When combined with rosehips, which contain bioactive compounds that support overall health and vitality, the blend can create a harmonizing effect, promoting a sense of emotional balance and relaxation.
- Cardiovascular support: Hawthorn (Crataegus) is a well-known herb for cardiovascular health, supporting heart function and improving blood circulation. When combined with rosehips, which have antioxidant properties and can enhance blood vessel health, the synergy between the two herbs may provide comprehensive cardiovascular support.
- Nervous system tonic: Motherwort and hawthorn, when used in conjunction with rosehips, can create a synergistic effect on the nervous system. Motherwort’s calming properties and hawthorn’s cardiovascular support, combined with the overall health benefits of rosehips, contribute to a balanced and nourished nervous system.
