Has any one ever used this in a blend? Seems like it could be an interesting admixture *scratches chin*
I found it on some new age herb shop, claiming:
"Agrimony The magical uses of agrimony include:elimination of negative energy and spirits. It is used in protection spells and sachets.Not only does it break hexes, it also returns them to sender."
Some pretty strong claims there! not sure if I buy into that side of things though...
Here is what Wiki had to say about its historical use:
"Agrimony has a long history of medicinal use. The English poet Michael Drayton once hailed it as an "all-heal," and through the ages it did seem to be a Panacea. The ancient Greeks used Agrimony to treat eye ailments, and it was made into brews to cure diarrhea and disorders of the gallbladder, liver, and kidneys. Anglo-Saxons made a solution from the leaves and seeds for healing wounds; this use continued through the Middle Ages and afterward, in a preparation called eau d'arquebusade, or "musket-shot water". Later, agrimony was prescribed for athlete's foot.
In the United States and Canada, and late into the 19th century,the plant was prescribed for many of these illnesses and more: for skin diseases, asthma, coughs, and gynecological complaints, and as a gargling solution for sore throats.
Recent authors identify Agrimony as a topical astringent for wounds, ulcers and sore throats and an astringent, bitter tonic, indicated for gastrointestinal and urinary problems such as indigestion, diarrhea and colitis, urinary tract infections, enuresis and incontinence and kidney and bladder gravel.[1]"
I'm also interested in Elder Flower, as I love the taste in cordials etc - ha anyone had a go with this? If the smoke is anything like the cordial then it could be a delicious addition, no? Same thing goes for Jasmine, I love the tea, would this bring anything beneficial to the party?
Thanks in advance, getting some bits together for my next blend, and want to make sure it is epic! Any other suggestions along these lines are more than welcome, so please feel free to chime in with alternatives also!
Much peace, love, and unity to you all,
