Agrimonia Eupatoria medicinal uses and benefits:
People have used agrimony as an herbal remedy since the olden days. They use either an infusion or a decoction of the dried plant for medical treatment.
Agrimony is for the person who tries to hide his or her tension behind a false facade of suave sophistication or cheerfulness. He denies the pain with a smile. The phrase ‘torturedly cheerful’ is expressive of the appearance. In other instances, agrimony people like speed and danger to escape from their pain (Edward Bach). Such activities push the agrimony person into an excess sympathetic condition which masks the deeper pain and gets them stuck there. Bach also says there can be abuse of drugs, alcohol, and stimulants to escape the pain. The problem often revolves around business and hierarchical relations (employee/employer). The person feels ‘caught in a bind.’
