    TRADITIONALLY USED FOR

    Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) is a perennial herb native to Europe and parts of Asia. 

    The aerial parts of the plant, particularly the leaves and flowers, have been traditionally used to prepare a tisane that is believed to possess various benefits, properties, and uses:

     

    Digestive aid: Agrimony tisane has been traditionally used to improve digestion, alleviate stomach cramps, reduce bloating, and relieve symptoms of indigestion.

     

    Anti-inflammatory properties: The herb is thought to have anti-inflammatory effects, which may be helpful in treating conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, and other inflammatory issues.

     

    Astringent properties: Agrimony is known for its astringent qualities, which can help soothe minor skin irritations, and it has been used as a gargle to alleviate sore throats and mouth ulcers.

     

    Diuretic properties: Agrimony tisane has been used traditionally as a diuretic, which may help with urinary tract infections and kidney stones by promoting urine production and flushing out toxins.

     

    Wound healing: The herb has been used to promote the healing of wounds, cuts, and bruises due to its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.

     

    Respiratory support: Agrimony tisane has been used to alleviate respiratory issues such as coughs, bronchitis, and sinus congestion.

     

    Liver support: The herb has been traditionally used to support liver health by promoting bile production and improving liver function.

     

    To make agrimony tisane, steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried agrimony leaves and flowers in a cup of boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Strain the infusion and drink it as needed for the desired effect.

     

    Please note that pregnant and nursing women, as well as individuals with certain medical conditions, should consult a healthcare professional before using agrimony tisane. 

    The herb may interact with medications or cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
