Plants We Used to Use 450. Tormentil

Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) roots and leaves have a slightly bitter, astringent taste, which is said to be refreshing and invigorating. This plant is also prepared as a 'tea' to treat diarrhoea; stomach problems and fever. Tormentil tincture, an alcoholic root preparation, can be applied to small cuts to stop bleeding. It can also be diluted in water, as a mouthwash.
