Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) is a traditional European herb renowned for its high tannin content (specifically condensed tannins) and flavonoids. These active constituents provide a pronounced astringent and anti-inflammatory effect that tones mucous membranes and binds proteins to form a protective barrier over irritated tissues. It is widely used to soothe the gut during loose stools, quiet sore throats, and dry up minor skin lesions.

Due to its high tannin content, long-term continuous oral use may interfere with iron absorption; take separately from iron supplements or meals. Discontinue if constipation develops.
