Pregnancy is such a unique period when a woman has no right to be sick or treated. But what about the nervous shocks that you have to go through enough for nine months? For such cases, the medicine cabinet should have a motherwort.
It is worth noting that the Motherwort Forte is not suitable for every woman during pregnancy. This plant has the property of lowering blood pressure, so those who suffer from attacks of hypotension should be careful about taking this drug. Drops of motherwort are quite suitable for use during pregnancy and, moreover, can help in a variety of situations.
Motherwort herb has unique sedative, anticonvulsant, cardiotonic and diuretic properties. Motherwort also contributes to the normalization of the digestive tract, which is important for expectant mothers.
But still, most often, “Motherwort forte” during pregnancy is prescribed as an excellent sedative. Moreover, at this time it is more suitable than valerian, which is universally considered more secure for such an important period.
Motherwort tincture is used to improve blood circulation, to eliminate morning sickness and to get rid of colic and excessive gas formation. Of course, they do not forget about the sedative properties of this plant. It can also be part of a comprehensive treatment for uterine hypertonicity and even with such a serious and very dangerous condition as gestosis.
The instructions for use of motherwort (both drops and tablets) also have a section that describes all possible contraindications. In particular, motherwort must be taken with extreme caution during pregnancy. But the catch is not in the very content of the grass, but in the presence of auxiliary substances that are part of the presented medicinal product. In fact, motherwort grass itself is perfect for expectant mothers, so if you notice any unpleasant side effects after taking the prescribed drops or tablets, you should replace them with ordinary dried material. Dry motherwort is brewed like ordinary tea. It can also be added to ready-made food - this will help to cope with gestosis. The main thing is not to overdo it, because 1-2 grams of grass for a meal is quite enough. If your nervous system is on the verge of collapse, try spreading motherwort grass in the apartment, especially concentrating on the places you visit most often.
Motherwort forte during pregnancy can be replaced with ordinary tea, based on it. If you prefer tinctures, then it is worth noting that combinations of motherwort with tincture of hawthorn or valerian are particularly effective. But here it is worth being very careful, because overdoing such cocktails can adversely affect the course of pregnancy because of its alcohol base. It is best to try to evaporate the excess alcohol before using the drugs. This is very easy to do - just preheat a spoon with which you are going to measure the amount of funds.
There are also some very effective and simple recipes that will become indispensable helpers in this incredibly difficult period:
- Motherwort forte during pregnancy is able to save from unnecessary unrest. With strong nervous tension, drip ten drops of motherwort, hawthorn and valerian into the water and calmly take it inside. This will allow you to calm down and relax.
- With severe manifestations of gestosis, make an herbal collection of 30 grams of dry motherwort, several dried berries of hawthorn and 20 grams of lingonberry leaf. Stir everything and take 2 tablespoons of the mixture. Pour into a glass and pour boiling water. Hold it a little on the steam bath, under a well-closed lid. Then thoroughly strain the resulting broth and add boiled water to it, so that in the end you get 250 ml of broth. Drink the collection in several doses during the day before meals.
- Motherwort during pregnancy can save from bloating and strong colic in the stomach. Add only 1 gram of dried motherwort herb to any ready-made meal and will relieve pain as you can.

Motherwort tincture can be done independently. This will give you confidence that nothing in the medicine can harm you. If you are confident in the purchased tincture and are ready to take motherwort during pregnancy, its dosage should be more than moderate, since an excess of the drug can lead to very unpredictable consequences.
