Research also indicates that Motherwort may protect and restore the integrity and functioning of mitochondria. In cases of chronic Lyme, Epstein Barr and other viral infections, mitochondria is often compromised and cellular energy production reduced. This causes fatigue, low energy and lowered immunity. Taking Motherwort can restore mitochondria structures and cellular function, thus improving energy. Motherwort also has neuroprotective properties and can support mitochondrial function in the brain and reduce reactive oxygen species levels, reduce swelling and restore mitochondrial membrane potential.
