This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and syrup. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances ofthe German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Motherwort herb for 'Nervous cardiac disorders and as adjuvant for thyroid hyperfunction.' 'Average daily dosage: 4.5 g herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb for infusions and other galenical preparations for internal use.' Some recent Chinese research, supportive of the empirical tradition, indicates that Motherwort alkaloids can calm the central nervous system and stimulate the uterus to contract after delivery, thus helping to prevent infection. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Diaphoretic, antispasmodic, tonic, nervine, emmenagogue. Motherwort is especially valuable in female weakness and disorders (hence the name), allaying nervous irritability and inducing quiet and passivity of the whole nervous system.' 'As a tonic, it acts without producing febrile excitement, and in fevers, attended with nervousness and delirium, it is extremely useful.'

'The best way of giving it is in the form of a conserve, made from the young tops, says one writer. It may be given in decoctions, or a strong infusion, but is very unpleasant to take that way. The infusion is made from 1 oz. of herb to a pint of boiling water, taken in wineglassful doses.' 'Preparations and Dosages: Powdered herb, ½ to 1 drachm. Fluid extract, ½ to 1 drachm. Solid extract, 5 to 15 grains.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Motherwort is emmenagogue, nervine, antispasmodic, and laxative. It is usually given in warm infusion in amenorrhoea from colds; and in suppressed lochia we have found it superior to any other remedy. Also useful in hysteria and chorea (King).' 'The extract is recommended in nervous complaints, pains peculiar to females, in irritable habits, delirium tremens, typhoid stages, with morbid nervous excitability, all chronic diseases attended with restlessness, wakefulness, disturbed sleep, spinal irritation, and neuralgic pains in the stomach and head, and in liver affections.' 'It is adapted to cases of nervous debility with irritation, nervous unrest, tendency to choreic or spasmodic movements, pelvic and lumbar uneasiness or pain, bearing down pains, and the irritability due to femal
