Agrimonia eupatoria

Also known as: Church Steeples, Sticklewort
French: Aigremoine

Agrimony is a longstanding herb of the European materia medica, recognized for its gently toning character and balanced nature. Neither strongly stimulating nor deeply sedating, it has traditionally been incorporated into formulas intended to support overall digestive integrity and tissue tone. It is often regarded as a plant of moderation, used where steadiness and gradual restoration are desired.
