Cranesbill Root C/S

Botanical Name: Geranium maculatum

Cranesbill (spotted geranium) is a plant that grows in North America. It is found most frequently in eastern Canada, as well as in the northern, central, and eastern regions of the United States. The whole plant and the root are used to make medicine.

People take cranesbill for diarrhea, cholera, digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), canker sores, and gum disease.

Cransebill is sometimes applied to the affected area for skin wounds, bleeding sores, hemorrhoids, vaginal discharge, and a fungal infection called thrush.

Cransebill contains chemicals called tannins. These have a drying effect and might be useful for conditions such as diarrhea.
