Kunigundenkraut, also known as water agrimony, groundsel or agrimony, is a fragrant herb. Kunnigundenkraut (Agrimonia Eupatoria) has valuable medicinal properties.

 

Kunigundenkraut is a perennial, hardy plant that is sown in late summer or early autumn.

Kunigundenkraut was already used for medicinal purposes in Europe in the Middle Ages and has spread all over the world to this day. In nature, the herb grows in meadows and mountain pastures and attracts butterflies. The slender stems of the plant produce small yellow flowers from early summer.

Cunegonde herb is used in the form of tea or tincture. In France, the herbal lotion called Eau de Arguebasade was used to soothe gunshot wounds. The herbal tea made from Kunigundenkraut is particularly popular as a washing solution for healing open wounds and skin rashes. Its blood-clotting properties have been scientifically proven.

When drunk, Kunigunden tea has a positive effect on liver, kidney and bladder problems.

Yellow, golden and greenish dyes of exceptional colour fastness are extracted from the flower. The dyes contain tannins, which make them particularly valuable for colouring and processing leather.

The plant seed is not easy to germinate, but once the plant grows, it is tenacious.
