Agrimony Herb - Uses And Side Effects

What is Agrimony ?

The Greeks supposedly used agrimony to treat eye problems. The Anglo-Saxons, who called the herb garelive, apparently used it for wounds.

Today, some herbalists recommend agrimony as a throat-soothing gargle for speakers and singers.

Pale yellow in September, this plant turns deep yellow later in the year. Some people use agrimony as a tea or poultice as well as a gargle.
