Agrimony is a valuable herb in modern practice used mainly as a gastro-intestinal tonic. It is also a useful remedy for coughs, skin eruptions and cystitis. Agrimony is a member of the rose family. In Chinese medicine it is used to stop excessive menstrual flow, as an astringent, and a cardio tonic. Agrimony helps to clear heat and dry dampness and has been used for asthma, bronchitis, diarrhea, incontinence, sore throat, and as a digestion aid. When used internally or externally, it increases the level of trombocytes, thus improving coagulation. Agrimony also has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and diuretic properties. The name Agrimony has its origins in both the Greek and Anglo-Saxon term "argemon", meaning speck in the eye, as this herb was used as a wash for eye problems. The species name, eupatoria, refers to an ancient Persian King, Mithrades Eupator, a renowned herbalist. Agrimony also has been used as a yellow dye.
