Agrimony (Agrimonia) has been used since ancient times. The Greeks used it as a remedy for ailments of the eye and the herb’s name is derived from the Greek word Argemone which means plant that heals the eye. In ancient Rome the great author and naturalist Pliny the elder deemed agrimony “an herb of princely authorite”. Anglo-Saxons used the leaves of this herb to help stop bleeding and heal wounds.
Agrimony has long been used by herbalists to heal wounds because it stanches bleeding and encourages clot formation. An astringent and mild bitter, it is also a helpful remedy for diarrhoea and a gentle tonic for the digestion as a whole. Combined with other herbs such as Cornsilk can be a valuable remedy for cystitis and urinary incontinence, and has also been used for kidney stones, sore throats, hoarseness, rheumatism and arthritis.
