Motherwort is a member of the mint family that earned its common name because it was once a favorite herb among midwives.

The leaves of this herb is characterized by a very bitter flavor and a hairy texture, which likely explains why motherwort is also known as Lion's Ear and Lion's Tail.

This herb is often used in tea blends, but due to the presence of cardiac alkaloids, internal use is not recommended during pregnancy or in conjunction with pharmaceutical medications that act on the heart.

Pour 8-12 oz. of boiling water over 1-2 tsp. of tea. Steep for 5-10 minutes and enjoy.
