His appearance and his astrological assignment
Agrimony is attached to the liver with its yellow flowers, which means that it represents a liver healing plant. Jupiter reigns over the liver and connective tissue, and thus the agrimony is subordinate to him. Since this medicinal plant belongs to the rose family, it is also subject to Venus. The Klettfrüchte, which catch easily in the clothes or also in the fur of the dogs, are assigned an affinity to the planet Merkur. Like all plants that have velvety fruits, the agrimony is also suitable for blood purification.

use
Agrimony was very popular in ancient times. Because of his great healing powers he was even dedicated to the goddess Athena. Agrimony is often used in naturopathy because of its tannins in mild diarrhea and because of its bitter substances in liver, gall bladder and stomach complaints. Externally, itching and wound healing, as well as inwardly, with discomfort in the mouth and throat, its tannins come into their own.
Especially with complaints of the digestive tract, various forms of application of the agrimony have proven many times. (Image: Doris Heinrichs / fotolia.com) diarrhea
In the Middle Ages, agrimony was a herb that was used on almost every nipple. From this time comes his name Lebenskraut. Today, agronomy has its place in the field of natural medicine, especially in the case of indigestion. The herb is used singly or in combination with other herbs.
The contained tannins, which have an astringent effect, help especially with mild diarrhea. The intestinal mucosa is protected, pathogens can not penetrate so well and the intestine calms down. Three cups of tea, distributed throughout the day, freshly brewed and drunk in small sips, soothe the intestines and have a slightly stuffy effect. The preparation of the tea is described below.
Loss of appetite, mild digestive problems
Due to its bitter substances Agrimony is used in naturopathy in loss of appetite. Light digestive problems respond equally well to the herb. However, be careful here. The contained tannins can irritate the stomach and cause discomfort. Therefore, the application should be short-lived.
Hepatobiliary disorders
The yellow color of the agrimony is traditionally attributed to an affinity to liver and bile. So this herb is recommended in natural healing practice along with other plants in patients with liver-bile problems. Agrimony supports the liver in its regeneration. For a liver tea, for example, ormennig, dandelion, milk thistle, wormwood and chicory are mixed in equal parts and a teaspoon of it brewed with a quarter liter of boiling water. After about five to seven minutes the tea is ready. Of these, three cups a day, absolutely unsweetened, are drunk best over a period of about two to three weeks. After that, a break must follow.
The following mixture of tea is good for both the liver and the bile: agrimony, calamus root, nettle leaves, marigolds and yarrow - mixed in equal parts. Also, this tea should never be sweetened and a maximum of three times a day, in small sips, be drunk. The preparation corresponds to the tea mixture for the liver.
Mouth - throat - throat
Agrimony is also often used in diseases of the mucous membranes in the mouth, throat and throat. Inflammation of the mouth, aphthous ulcers, bleeding gums, hoarseness, sore throat and mouth rot - in all these complaints gargling and rinsing with agrimony tea is recommended.
For the skin
The skin benefits from the astringent effect of agrimony. Itching is relieved and smaller wounds heal faster. Even with minor burns and abrasions can help amenorrhea. For this, a tablespoonful of cabbage is boiled with a quarter liter of boiling water and strained after ten minutes. With this decoction, a cotton cloth is soaked and then used as a compress or envelope.
For blood purification
Agrimony has blood-purifying healing properties. Since detoxification, deacidification and blood purification play an extremely important role in natural medicine, this plant does not come up short here as well. Usually, agrimony is then prescribed along with other medicinal plants such as dandelion, chicory and barberry.
Agrimony - slightly anti-cancer
Odermmenig is known as a mildly anti-cancer plant - not for treatment, of course, but for prevention. Thus, the tea is recommended in natural medicine patients in whose family breast or colon cancer occurs. Japanese researchers have found that a substance contained in agrimony activates the immune system to possibly inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Hip bath for the abdomen
Agrimony is often used in naturopathy together with other herbs for a sitz bath. For example, for the treatment of vaginal discharge. Together with lady's mantle and deadnettle, in equal proportions, creates a helpful sitzbad mixture. A decoction of two tablespoons of the mixture, brewed with 500 milliliters of boiling water, with a brewing time of at least ten minutes, is added to the sitz bath. The bath time should not exceed ten to 15 minutes.

For the tea half a cup is filled with a quarter liter of boiling water per cup. The whole thing should then draw about five minutes. Since agrimony is rich in tannins and bitter substances, it is absolutely essential to add sugar or honey. It is best to drink the tea in small sips. So the mucous membranes can best absorb the active ingredients. People who have a sensitive stomach should be very careful with the application as the tea, as we mentioned earlier, can cause stomach irritation.
Application in Chinese medicine
Agrimony in the naturopathy - and here especially in the Chinese medicine - is valid as gastric qi strengthening, harmonizing and happy. The medicinal herb is used in TCM for many gastrointestinal disorders, liver bile problems and to strengthen the spleen and pancreas.

Ormennig is also known in natural medicine from the Bach flower therapy as Agrimony. Agrimony people behave differently than they really are. So they are happy on the outside, although they feel very different inside. They are in need of harmony and usually do not talk about their own worries and problems. They are restless and tense. Agrimony helps the person concerned to naturalness, acceptance of courage and strength.
Further application forms
Agrimony is used in natural healing not only as a bath additive, tea or gargle solution, but also in homeopathic form as globules, as mother tincture or tincture. The treating therapist chooses the respective application form individually suitable for the patient.
