The dried flowers of agrimony are used to make a spring tonic or diet drink and are thought to purify blood. This herb contains tannins believed to aid in ease of digestion and for mild and acute diarrhea. Because of its diuretic affect, agrimony can help shed excess water weight and helps to flush the kidneys and bladder and helps to get rid of kidney stones. It's sometimes combined with corn silk to alleviate the symptoms of cystitis and urinary incontinence. This flushing aids in relieving the liver of built-up toxins and makes organ functioning better able to rid the body of disease. This plant has many topical uses, including rheumatism relief and skin eruptions like pimples, acne and blotches and even scrofulous sores and eczema without noted adverse affects in moderate use. Agrimony may have beneficial effects on coughs, sore throats, bronchitis, asthma and varicose ulcers. A gargle made from this herb can also reduce nasal mucus accumulation, helping to restore breathing to normal. It is also used by women suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding and for urinary infections

Traditionally, agrimony tea is made of the dried leaves or a powder, using one teaspoon to one cup of boiling water and simmering for five minutes before drinking. Germany’s Commission E has approved agrimony tea for controlling diarrhea and the cooled tea as a throat gargle to lessen inflammation and sore throat pain.
A poultice for topical conditions is made by boiling the herb in water on low heat for 10 to 20 minutes to reduce it to a 10 percent water extract.
For prepared agrimony extracts and tinctures, 1 to 3 milliliters of liquid extract (of 1:1 in 25 percent alcohol) is considered a starting point for daily use for adults or by infusion of 2 to 4 grams dried herb three times daily.

Like all pharmaceutical and natural treatments, agrimony should be used with caution and understanding. Individuals with known allergies or hyper-sensitivity to it should not use this herb. It's considered safe for topical use and as a tea or beverage and it's listed by the Council of Europe as a natural source of food flavoring. Due to its high tannin content, agrimony should be used in moderate doses on the skin and internally. High amounts may lead to gastrointestinal upset and complications to underlying diseases. Patients with a history of excessive bleeding or bleeding disorders should use it at milder doses. Use of the plant during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be avoided because associated risks are yet unknown.
