Motherwort — 2 oz

Motherwort is a cut and sifted bulk herb made from the aerial parts of Leonurus cardiaca, a member of the mint family. This traditional herb earned its common name because it was once commonly used by midwives, and it is also known by the folk names Lion’s Ear and Lion’s Tail.

Motherwort has a naturally very bitter flavor and a somewhat hairy texture. Because of its strong bitterness, it is often blended with other herbs rather than enjoyed on its own. It pairs well with mint, lemon balm, chamomile, licorice root, rosehips, lavender, and other herbs that help soften the flavor in tea blends.
