When the materia still pricks you during extraction! I was pouring off motherwort yesterday when her little prickers still had a gumption to act in their true nature – the very nature of her medicine.

Motherwort is a very powerful ally, for those with hypertension, who are experiencing menopause, or major hormonal fluctuations due to thyroid issues (and other issues).

Read my post Motherwort and her primal posture for more information and to see the beginning photos of the tincturing process including photos of the original plant. These photos are ideal for ID’ing as we prepare for the new season of medicine harvesting 2011. Think spring!
