                        All About Agrimony

                        Agrimony is an herb historically used to treat wounds for its topical anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. It's name comes from the Greek word: argemone, which means a plant to heal the eyes. It is also ingested as a diuretic, for digestive issues, and used for a sore throat. In one human study, agrimony showed potential liver protective activities.

                        Fun Fact

                        While agrimony can be used as a medicinal herb, hemp-agrimony is quite the opposite. Hemp- agrimony contains toxic and carcinogenic properties. Don't confuse these two!

                        Agrimony Research

                        One review of agrimony research discussed antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant and hepatoprotective potential of the herb. In one human study, agrimony showed potential liver protective activities. In another human study, drinking the tea for one month reduced lipid levels, inflammation, and had an antioxidant effect in participants. It may also help in wound healing, as an anti-inflammatory, diuretic, astringent, and anti-diabetic. More research is warranted.
