Motherwort, as suggested by its’ name, is indicated for use with the uterus and with parenthood. It will provide fast relief for menstrual cramps when taken 5-10 drops at a time, at the first moment of pain and taken thereafter every 15 minutes as needed. Motherwort tones the uterine muscle and will eventually diminish cramps within four months.
