Rebecca’s Tips
Motherwort is very bitter and I used to have to have a glass of water as a chaser handy which is why I made an Elixir with honey so now she can be taken straight from the bottle as needed (without diluting or making icky face!) When you feel like you need a hug from your nurturing herbal mother look to her for support.
