Cranesbill Root C/S (Geranium maculatum) 1 lb: C

Starwest Botanicals Cranesbill Root C/S (Geranium maculatum) 1 lb: C

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack.

Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture.

As King's puts it, tannin-rich Cranesbill 'is a powerful astringent.'

Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Styptic, astringent, tonic. Used for

piles and internal bleeding. Excellent as an injection for flooding and

leucorrhoea,

and taken internally for diarrhoea, children's cholera, chronic

dysentery; a good gargle.'

'Dosages: 15 to 30 grains. Infusion, 1 oz. herb to 1 pint water. Fluid

extract, ½ to 1 drachm. Geranin, 1 to 3 grains.'

King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Geranium is a powerful astringent. Used in

infusion with milk in the second stage of dysentery, diarrhoea, and

cholera infantum.

In bowel disorders it is the chronic or subacute states in which it is

applicable, and especially where the discharges are abundant and

debilitating. The

relaxation of membranes following the inflammatory stage is an indication

for its use. In dysentery it is not adapted to the first and acute stage,

but

should be used, after a laxative, as magnesium sulphate, where the

disease tends to chronicity.'

'The infusion or the specific geranium in milk may be employed. Both

internally and externally it may be used wherever astringents are

indicated, in hemorrhages,

indolent ulcers, aphthous sore mouth, ophthalmia, leucorrhoea, gleet,

hematuria, menorrhagia, diabetes, and all excessive chronic mucous

discharges; also,

to cure mercurial salivation.'

'Relaxation of the uvula may be benefited by gargling with a decoction of

the root, as well as aphthous ulceration of the mouth and throat. Chronic

pharyngeal

catarrh has been cured with it, while recently an old-school authority

claims for it restorative properties in incipient pulmonary consumption.'

'From its freedom from any nauseous or unpleasant qualities, it is well

adapted to infants and persons with fastidious stomachs. In cases of

bleeding piles,

a strong decoction of the root may be injected into the rectum, and

should be retained as long as possible. Hemorrhoids are said to be cured

by adding

of the root in fine powder, 2 ounces, to tobacco ointment, 7 ounces, and

apply to the parts, 3 or 4 times a day.'

American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'In sub-acute diarrhoea,

geranium exercises an immediate influence, a single full dose producing a

marked impression

and improving the tone of the entire gastro-intestinal tract from the

first.'

'In chronic diarrhea, no matter how stubborn, it may be given with

confidence if the specific conditions are present. In doses of ten drops

every two hours,

diarrheas of the above described character will promptly subside. Active

inflammation must be subdued before the agent will act readily.'

'It is the remedy for the general relaxation of the gastro-intestinal

tract in childhood, with protracted diarrhea. Any extreme activity, or

hyper-activity

of the. liver, must be corrected, and this agent will usually do the

rest.'

'In catarrhal gastritis, where there is profuse secretion with a tendency

to ulceration, with, perhaps a mild hemorrhage, this agent is very

useful.'

'Its range seems much wider than that of a simple astringent, as it

controls pain and rapidly improves the general condition. Half of a dram

may be given

every three hours, but smaller doses may do as well.'

Hi Terri,

Thank you so much! I didn't have any luck finding herb on the

internet yesterday.

One mention of this herb in the Breuss Cancer Cure is that is has radium in

it and it is absolutely critical to a cancer patient. I will order this

herb immediately!
