Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and ointment. Astringent Agrimony, rich in tannins and flavonoids, is used as a tea or strong decoction to cure digestive system ailments, indigestion, urinary incontinence, cystitis and diarrhea. It is an excellent gargle for sore throat and laryngitis. As a topical ointment it heals wounds and bruises. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Agrimony herb for 'Internal: Mild, nonspecific, acute diarrhea; inflammation of oral and pharyngeal mucosa. External: Mild, superficial inflammation of the skin.' 'Dosage: For internal application: Average daily dosage: 3 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb or herb powder for teas; other galenical preparations for external and internal use. Action: Astringent.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Astringent tonic, diuretic. Agrimony has had a great reputation for curing jaundice and other liver complaints. Gerard believed in its efficacy. He says: 'A decoction of the leaves is good for them that have naughty livers': and he tells us also that Pliny called it a 'herb of princely authoritie.' Dioscorides stated that it was not only 'a remedy for them that have bad livers,' but also 'for such as are bitten with serpents.' Dr. Hill, who from 1751 to 1771 published several works on Herbal medicine, recommends 'an infusion of 6 oz. of the crown of the root in a quart of boiling water, sweetened with honey and half a pint drank three times a day,' as an effectual remedy for jaundice. It gives tone to the system and promotes assimilation of food.' 'Agrimony is also considered a very useful agent in skin eruptions and diseases of the blood, pimples, blotches, etc. A strong decoction of the root and leaves, sweetened with honey or sugar, has been taken successfully to cure scrofulous sores, being administered two or three times a day, in doses of a wineglassful, persistently for several months. The same decoction is also often employed in rural districts as an application to ulcers.' 'Preparation: Fluid extract dose, 10 to 60 drops.' 'In North America, it is said to be used in fevers with great success, by the Indians and Canadians.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Agrimony is a mild tonic, alterative, and astringent. A decoction of it is highly recommended in bowel complaints, leucorrhoea, chronic mucous diseases, chronic affections of the digestive organs, profuse bleedings, of an asthenic character, certain cutaneous diseases, icterus, etc.' 'A strong decoction, sweetened with honey, is reputed curative in scrofula, if its use be persisted in for a length of time; and it has also been highly extolled in the treatment of gravel, asthma, coughs, and obstructed menstruation. Dr. D. C. Payne speaks highly of a continued use of a decoction of this plant in the treatment of erysipelas and scrofulous affections, to be used freely, in |
