Wild Geranium

Alternative Name:

geranium maculatum

Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum), also known as spotted geranium or cranesbill, is a perennial herb native to eastern North America.

Indigenous peoples used the plant’s roots for their astringent properties, treating conditions such as diarrhea, hemorrhoids, and mouth sores. Early settlers adopted these uses, and wild geranium became a staple in traditional herbal medicine.

The plant contains tannins, which contribute to its astringent and anti-inflammatory effects.

In modern herbal medicine, wild geranium is used to support digestive health, reduce inflammation, and treat wounds and skin irritations. Its ability to constrict tissues makes it effective for stopping bleeding and reducing excessive mucus.
