Motherwort Herb (Leonurus cardiaca L.)is native to Europe and Asia. Colonists introduced Motherwort to North America, and it has been naturalized here quite easily and it can be found in neglected gardens, in orchards, by the roads. Other common names include throw-wort, lion's ear, and lion's tail.

The Greeks gave Motherwort to pregnant women suffering from anxiety hence the name “mothers herb” or “mother wort”. In the middle ages, the plant was considered by some herbalists to protect against evil spirits.

When consumed as a tea, Motherwort Herb is often combined with honey, ginger, lemon, sugar, or other strong flavors to help combat its bitterness.
