Chinese Motherwort

Chinese Motherwort (Yi Mu Cao) is a powerful herb in both Southern folk magic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In Southern folk traditions, it’s often used in protective rituals, believed to bring strength, fertility, and emotional healing. Its soothing energy is said to ease grief and promote peace in the home, making it a popular ingredient in charm bags and teas aimed at restoring emotional balance. In TCM, Chinese Motherwort is highly valued for its ability to regulate blood flow, relieve menstrual discomfort, and calm the spirit. It is known to invigorate the blood, expel stasis, and support heart health, making it a vital herb for women’s wellness, especially for those experiencing irregular cycles or postpartum recovery. This versatile botanical embodies healing on both physical and emotional levels, offering comfort and restoration.
