Agrimony was one of the most famous vulnerary herbs with anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. The tannin content is responsible for many of its medicinal uses. The dried leaves can be used to make tea for drinking or as a throat gargle. Agrimony has been used for many gastrointestinal conditions such as appendicitis, mild diarrhea, stimulation of appetite, and ulcers. Additional human study is needed to make a firm recommendation. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to agrimony. Avoid with diarrhea that is caused by an underlying disease. Agrimony should only be used for mild and acute diarrhea. Avoid in patients who are susceptible to constipation. Use cautiously if taking anticoagulants or blood pressure lowering drugs. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
