Agrimony Herb has a long history behind it. It was always used as a domestic medicinal herb by many of those who live in the country. This herb is part of the rose family, and it is in bloom from June to September. This herb has beautiful leaves which add to its beauty.
This plant grows close to the ground. There are also flowers that grow closely together on its little branches. What's more, this herbal plant has a sweet smell that is of apricots which makes it enjoyable to many.
During the Middle Ages, this herb was used by the Anglo-Saxon peoples for the healing of wounds and sores. They also used this herb as part of their ritual rites. It was believed that if a man put the herb beneath his head, he'd be induced into deep sleep.
Some writers also have said that it is quite useful for curing jaundice. The way it works is, the crown of a root is placed into boiling water. A half a pint six times a day is the prescribed dose.
In North America, it was used to treat fever by the Canadians and the Native Americans. They had great success when using the herb for that purpose. Additionally, it has been used to treat diseases of the blood and skin. The leaves and roots are sweetened with honey or sugar so as to be tolerated and administered two to three times a day. Doses are the size of a full wineglass.
Today, the herb is used to treat diarrhea, relaxed bowels, sore throats, and passive blood loss. For these treatments, a handful of the leaves or stems is dumped into a pint of boiling water. This solution can be gargled for the easing of a sore throat, and a teacup full, taken cold, three to four times a day, to get rid of diarrhea or help with the passive blood loss. And, though this herb is not yet fully appreciated by today's modern medicine, it is appreciated by many for its many virtues.
