Leonurus cardiaca L.
(motherwort) is a perennial herb, native to Asia and southeastern
Europe, with widespread global occurrence in present days. The plant was
historically used as cardiotonic and for treating gynaecological
afflictions (such as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, menopausal anxiety, or
postpartum depression). Although its use in oriental and occidental
medicine is relatively well documented, the recent progress registered
raises the need for an update of the Medicines Agency assessment report
on Leonurus cardiaca L., herba (2010). The current study presents the
progress made within the 2010-2018 timeframe regarding the potential
applications and scientific evidences supporting the traditional use of
motherwort, in the same time suggesting future research opportunities.
