Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) is offered as dried flowering herb for tea, infusion, gargle, and traditional herbal preparations. Commonly incorporated into digestive, throat-soothing, and astringent blends, Agrimony is valued for its gently toning and balancing qualities.

Medicinal Profile
Agrimony is traditionally regarded as an astringent and mildly bitter herb. European herbal tradition has used the flowering tops for mild digestive upset, particularly occasional loose stools, as well as for mouth and throat preparations. Its traditional action is gently drying, toning, and consolidating.

Traditional & Historical Context
Agrimony has a long history in European herbalism, where the flowering tops were prepared as teas, gargles, washes, and other household remedies. European herbal authorities recognize its traditional use for mild diarrhea and minor inflammation of the mouth, throat, and skin, while noting that clinical evidence remains limited.

Ritual & Folk Applications
Agrimony has been associated in folk traditions with protection, clearing, and the restoration of balance. It may be included in sachets, washes, or ritual preparations where the intention is to establish boundaries or clear unwanted influence.

Preparation Notes
Best prepared as an infusion (10–15 minutes). May also be used as a gargle or external wash.

Safety Considerations
Traditional medicinal use is generally limited to appropriate amounts and short-term applications. Consult a qualified practitioner for persistent digestive, throat, or skin symptoms. EMA's traditional-use assessment applies to adults and children over 12.
