Leonorus heterophyllus
CHINESE MOTHERWORT
Labiatae
This surprising herb grows to a height of
over 2 m.
Chinese Motherwort is very easy to grow from seed and if
planted in Autumn or Winter will grow and flower profusely
throughout Summer until Autumn.
It is, by definition a biennial but is
probably best dealt with as an annual in Australian climates.
Motherwort, by it's Chinese name of 'Yet Mo Juo'
is favoured as a circulation booster,
to regulate
menstruation and to subdue hyperactivity of the liver.
We use the dried seeds of Chinese Motherwort, which are quite pungent, extensively
for sore and tired eyes, inflammation of the eye, dizziness
and headache.
