Motherwort has long been known as a herb that calms the nerves and the heart. It’s a key herb for women as they journey through menopause. Motherwort helps calm rage and nerves, giving the user a sense of strength and purpose.
This is a herb of attitude, a don’t mess with me herb, a herb of crone wisdom (we mean this as a compliment) and an embrace of all that is woman. Hear me roar!!! She is a powerful ally for women stepping through menopause and into their own power. She is the herb of the woman who has had enough of being walked over.
You get real clues to her attributes by the way she grows (known as the Doctrine of Signatures) because her leaves are deeply lined like an old crone's skin. Her seed pods are very prickly, painfully so! Her tiny flowers look like a roaring lion.

Shaman's journey into the Waitomo Caves
The bush is beautiful. The greens, so green. Moss and lichen hangs from trees. The air is damp and the earth smells rich. I walk up to the visitor centre which hovers amid the trees like an insect, yet also like a chrysalis. Its own beauty is in its simplicity.
