Ancients called it "garclive"
Agrimony
The Greeks often used agrimony to treat eye problems. The Anglo-Saxons, who called the herb "garclive," apparently used it to treat wounds. One of the early herbal remedies for internal bleeding involved swallowing a mixture of agrimony, human blood, and pulverized frog parts. Today, some herbalists recommend agrimony as a throat-soothing gargle for speakers and singers. The herb is available in tablets or as a tea with many uses, including: decongestant, gargle, sedative, and asthma treatment. Agrimony also is sometimes used to thicken the blood, alleviate back pain, and promote wound healing, as well as to treat corns, eye problems, fluid retention, gallbladder problems, tumors, warts, and a weak heartbeat.
