Agrimony was known by the ancient Greeks who made use of it for ailments of the eye. In northern Europe, it was used by the Anglo-Saxons to treat wounds. Late in the sixteenth century, it was used to treat gout, fevers and rheumatism. It was referred to by the English poet Michael Dayton as an "all-heal" herb.
