Agrimony Herb (Agrimonia eupatoria) – Traditional European Herb

What is Agrimony Herb?

Agrimony Herb from Herba Organica is a high-quality, 100% natural dried herb consisting of the aerial parts (leaves, stems and flowers) of Agrimonia eupatoria, carefully collected and dried to preserve its natural colour, aroma and character. Known in British and European tradition by names such as church steeples, or sticklewort, agrimony has been gathered from meadows and hedgerows for generations.

This attractive herb has bright green leaves and tall spikes of small yellow flowers that appear throughout the summer months. Once dried, it retains its pleasant, subtle apricot-like fragrance and mild bitter taste, making it a versatile ingredient for herbal infusions and culinary exploration.

Agrimony Herb in European Tradition

Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) has been known and gathered across Britain and Europe for centuries. Mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman herbals and later in Anglo-Saxon and medieval manuscripts, it was one of the most familiar wild herbs found along hedgerows and meadows. Country people and herbalists traditionally collected and dried the flowering aerial parts during summer for general household use. It remained popular throughout the centuries and even appeared in official British herbal references until the early 20th century. Today many customers enjoy continuing this long-standing European tradition by using the dried herb in their own infusions and blends.
