Safety, Cautions & Contraindications

Safety note^[13]Info

Traditional-use indication only: if diarrhoea persists longer than 3-4 days, or symptoms of mouth/throat inflammation persist beyond about a week, a doctor should be consulted.

Safety note^[13]Caution

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended, as safety has not been established.

Safety note^{[13, 15]}Info

Tannin-rich; very high or prolonged intake may cause gastrointestinal upset or constipation and can reduce the absorption of iron and some medicines taken at the same time.

Safety note^{[12, 13]}Caution

Contains cyanogenic compounds: use only properly dried, prepared bark and avoid large or prolonged doses (fresh bark has a higher toxic content). It suppresses the cough reflex, so it suits dry, unproductive coughs - not productive coughs where mucus needs clearing.

Safety note^[13]Caution

Avoid in pregnancy and breastfeeding because of the cyanogenic glycosides.

Botanical Description

Slender, downy perennial herb with a basal rosette of pinnately compound leaves and a single, unbranched, upright flowering stem. The leaflets are toothed, alternating large and small, and silvery-downy beneath. Small, five-petalled, bright yellow flowers are borne closely along a slender terminal spike (raceme), opening a few at a time from the base upwards, giving the old name 'church steeples'. After flowering, small bristly, hooked burrs form that cling to clothing and animal fur for dispersal.^{[13, 14]}

Height: 30-100 cm

Habit: Erect, downy perennial herb

Leaves: Pinnately compound, toothed leaflets of alternating large and small size, silvery-downy beneath

Flowers: Small, five-petalled, bright yellow flowers crowded on a slender terminal spike

Stem: Single, unbranched, upright, downy flowering stem

Root: Woody rootstock

Fruit: Small bristly, hooked burr that clings to clothing and fur

Flowering Period: June-September

Deciduous tree (Rosaceae), 15-30 m tall, with dark, scaly, aromatic bark that has a distinctive bitter-almond smell when cut or crushed (from cyanogenic compounds). Leaves are glossy dark green, elliptical and finely toothed. Small white flowers are borne in drooping racemes, followed by small, dark purple-black cherries that are edible when fully ripe but otherwise bitter.^[12]

Height: 15-30 m

Habit: Deciduous tree

Leaves: Glossy dark green, elliptical, finely toothed

Flowers: Small, white, in drooping racemes

Stem: Dark, scaly, aromatic bark with a bitter-almond smell when cut

Root: Deep woody root system

Fruit: Small, dark purple-black cherries, bitter unless fully ripe

Flowering Period: April-May

Habitat

Grows in dry grassland, hedgerows, field margins, roadsides and open woodland edges on well-drained, often calcareous soils; native and common throughout Europe, temperate Asia and North Africa.^{[13, 14]}

Native to eastern North America, growing in a wide range of woodland, forest-edge and open habitats on well-drained soils; widely naturalised and, in parts of Europe, considered an invasive tree.^[12]

Harvesting

The flowering aerial parts are cut in summer, at the start of flowering, and dried promptly in a warm, airy, shaded place.^[13]

Parts: Aerial parts (flowering herb)

Season: Summer, at the start of flowering

Bark is stripped from the trunk and larger branches, traditionally in autumn, and must be thoroughly dried before use - fresh bark has a much higher cyanogenic-glycoside content and is more toxic.^[13]

Parts: Bark

Season: Traditionally autumn; must be dried before use

Traditional Uses

Agrimony has a long folk history as an astringent remedy for mild diarrhoea, as a gargle for sore throats and mild mouth/throat inflammation, and as a mild bitter digestive tonic; it has also been applied topically to minor wounds and skin inflammation. It is officially recognised in the European Union herbal monograph for traditional use in mild diarrhoea and mild inflammation of the mouth or throat.^{[13, 14]}

Wild cherry bark has a long Native American and European settler tradition as a cough remedy, valued specifically for its unusual cough-suppressant action - from the cyanogenic glycoside prunasin, which releases a trace, sedating amount of cyanide that calms the cough reflex. It remains a classic ingredient of traditional cough syrups.^{[12, 13]}

Preparations

Infusion^[13]

Dried flowering herb infused in hot water, taken internally for mild diarrhoea and digestive complaints or used as a gargle/mouthwash for sore throat.

Poultice/compress^[13]

Crushed or infused herb applied externally to minor wounds and skin inflammation.

Decoction/infusion^{[12, 13]}

Dried bark gently simmered or infused in hot water - the traditional cough preparation.

Syrup^[13]

Bark decoction sweetened - a classic cough-syrup base.

Dosage

Infusion^[13]

The EU herbal monograph gives 1.5-4 g of the comminuted herb in 250 mL (or less) of boiling water as an infusion, 2-3 times daily, in adolescents, adults and elderly. As a gargle for mild oral or throat inflammation, 1.5 g in 150 mL of boiling water 2-4 times daily, or a decoction of 3-4.5 g in 250 mL 2-3 times daily. Educational reference only, not a prescription.

Tincture^[13]

The EU herbal monograph gives 1-4 mL three times daily (orally, or as a gargle for oral and throat use). Educational reference only, not a prescription.

Decoction^{[12, 13]}

Traditional guidance suggests roughly 1-2 g dried bark per cup as a decoction, up to three times daily, using only properly dried bark; avoid large or prolonged doses given the cyanogenic-glycoside content, and avoid in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Educational reference only, not a prescription.
