Yet another plant great for health. Do you often see that meats are found to fight inflammation? That eggs lower bloodsugar, or that milk cleanses the body? What is this telling us? Living plant foods, like nature provided all the way folks!! Agrimony is a plant that is closely related to the rose family and grows in the temperate regions of Asia, Europe and North America. Starting with the early Greek civilization, agrimony has accumulated a long history of being used to treat a wide array of illnesses. The Greeks recommended using it in order to strengthen the liver and cure ailments such as jaundice. By the 17th century, herbalists such as John Gerard would openly claim that not only was agrimony able to revitalize the liver but it could also facilitate the assimilation of food in the digestive tract. This general idea was later made popular and promoted through several books by a certain Dr. Hill. Generally speaking, agrimony has shown through history to be an all around, dependable kind of herb. It is now more specifically studied and therefore recognized for its anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective qualities as much as its hepatoprotective properties. Its also important to note that just a few years ago researchers from a Chinese College in Guangzhou were able to isolate and validate specific chemical elements within agrimony in order to comprehend and confirm its innate ability to lower blood sugar levels.
