What is Motherwort? Uses and Benefits

Motherwort is an organic plant, and the part above the ground is a very potent
source to make certain medications. This organic natural remedy has
been useful for thousands of centuries to treat various conditions such as anxiety,
heart condition, and irregular menstruation. 
Many people even use motherwort directly on their skin to cure shingles and
itching. Leonurus Heterophyllus and Leonurus Artemisia are two popular species of motherwort, and their seeds help improve general tonic and eyesight.
Topical Uses of Motherwort
CBD uses motherwort as an anti-inflammatory and hydrating agent for pain relief.
The CBD industry uses motherwort in CBD/CBG oils for skincare products because
motherwort ha synergetic effect when accompanied with cannabinoids.
The CBD industry is using them as an anti-aging agent as well as to treat skin
issues like acne. Motherwort is also very useful in reducing or in some
cases preventing skin redness, itchiness, irritation, and swelling. 
Benefits of Motherwort
There are several benefits of motherwort, including the following. 
1. It is a Natural Antioxidant
Motherwort is an organic source that contains several plant-based
compounds. Hence, it offers antioxidant properties. There are natural
ingredients, including sterols, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenes. Antioxidants
are essential to protect your cells from damage by free radicals known as potentially
harmful and toxic molecules. 
2. Sleep
Some research suggests that ingesting motherwort combined with certain
ingredients such as hops, cannabinoids and terpenes through the mouth before you go to bed can help improve your sleeping pattern. This is especially true for people with a history of alcohol abuse going through a withdrawal phase. 
3. Use in Body Health
The US skincare and wellness industry don’t use motherwort in products very often.
This plant is well known in other parts of the world. However, motherwort grows
perfectly in Pacific North West where we harvest it in pick of the season to get the
most of it for our products.

We use motherwort in our body butter and CBD/CBG oil. Here are some individual
benefits of using them in both products. 
• Motherwort in CBD-Based Body Butter – it can help heal dry cuticles, rough
elbows, and cracked heels. This can work as a hydrating powerhouse that you can
carry with you on the go. 
• Motherwort in CBD-Based Oil –Topical uses help you with pain relief, anti-
aging, combat itches and acne, and acts as a moisturizer. On the other hand,
ingesting these oils can help you rejuvenate and calm down due to improved
sleeping patterns. Plus, it can help fight certain mental conditions such as stress and anxiety. Using CBD-based oils with motherwort can also help you improve your focus on the go. 
The Takeaway
If you recently came across a motherwort-based product, the above-mentioned uses and benefits will certainly convince you to try them. This is nothing new
but centuries-old organic compound that will not only help you heal some of the
physical conditions but also improve your psychological wellbeing as well.
