Motherwort has a long history as a herb used in various cultures across Central Europe, Asia, and North America. Throughout the centuries, it has served many purposes. Midwives traditionally used it in women's care, which is also reflected in its name.

In China, it was historically valued for its role in supporting natural bodily processes. It was also used to promote comfort during the menstrual cycle, as well as for relaxation and overall well-being.

According to traditional Chinese perspectives, Motherwort has a bitter and slightly spicy taste and is associated with specific energetic properties believed to influence certain bodily functions. The fresh or dried leaves, known as yìmǔcǎo (益母草), were often infused in warm beverages or extracts. In this tradition, it is thought to interact with various energy pathways in the body.
