Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) is a herbaceous perennial from the Lamiaceae (mint) family, native to central Asia and southeastern Europe and widely naturalized across temperate regions. The plant grows to 60–100 cm with a characteristic square stem, palmately lobed leaves with serrated margins, and small pink-to-lilac flowers that appear from June through August. Known historically in European herbalism as Lion's Tail, Lion's Ear, and Heartwort, the aerial parts have been used in traditional botanical tea and tincture preparations for centuries. The cut and sifted dried herb is suitable for use in herbal teas, infused oils, botanical sachets, and other traditional preparations.
