Motherwort

Motherwort is most commonly used for anxiety, irritability, mood swings, heart palpitations and stress induced high blood pressure. Motherwort is very effective at controlling the day to day stress and anxiety caused by things like sitting in traffic, going to the doctor (white coat hypertension) or not having enough time in the day.   

Especially effective for premenstrual syndrome, menopausal and other menstrual issues.
