Agrimony tea is safe for small children
Agrimony's astringency is effective against diarrhea, especially in small children, and because of its low toxicity, the herb is particularly suitable for children's illnesses. Agrimony stops irritation of the urinary tract that may increase a child's urge to urinate and, therefore, may be useful in the treatment of bladder leakage (cannot hold urine), bed-wetting and adult incontinence.
Agrimony is perhaps best known as a wound herb used on medieval battlefields to staunch bleeding. Agrimony is most used in modern herbal practice as a mild astringent and a tonic, the tannins it contains tone the mucus membranes making it is useful for alleviating the symptoms of coughs, bronchitis and asthma. The herbal tea can be used as a skin wash, it is thought to improve minor injuries and chronic skin conditions.

| Considered safe and non-toxic. There are, however, a number of conditions that result from attacks on healthy tissues by B cells because of defects in their genetic programming. For that reason, people with rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, Graves' disease, Hashi-moto's thyroiditis, lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, or any other autoimmune disease may want to avoid agrimony if it seems to cause flare-ups.

Agrimony for :Parasitic and other infections. |

Agrimony contains the chemical compound agrimophol, which expels parasites. Agrimophol causes parasites to lose their hold on the lining of the bladder or intestine so that they are evacuated with urine or stool. This substance also kills the organism that causes river blindness, a tropical disease in which parasites infest the eye, and many common bacteria, including Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus bacteria, as well as the bacteria that cause dysentery and typhoid fever.
