Agrimony Market Driven by Rising Demand for Herbal Treatments

Agrimony is a genus of 12–15 species of perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Rosaceae. Commonly it is known to be a domestic medicinal herb, which is native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with one species also in Africa. The agrimony herb has spikes which bear rows of tiny yellow flowers, known as church steeples. The agrimony is also characterized by having fruits that are marked by hooked bristles known as cockleburs at the top or towards the tips and blooms from June to early September. In the ancient times, agrimony herb was used in several brews, solutions, and tonics. The leaves and flowers contain a unique chemical composition which acts as a detoxifying, astringent, coagulating, and anti-inflammatory substance on the body. Owing to all the benefits of agrimony, it has been used in the direct and indirect treatment of a wide variety of ailments over time. 
Major drivers driving the global agrimony market include the growing health concern among consumers and rising demand for herbal treatments. Based on the benefits of the agrimony, the medicinal demand of it is increasing and people are getting attracted towards it. It has been studied that due to the presence of anti-diabetic property, the active components of agrimony can moderate the glucose and insulin uptake processes in the body better than many other natural diabetic treatments. It acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and aids in digestion. It also improves respiratory conditions like bronchitis and sinus issues too. It improves skin health, prevents psoriasis, eczema, or any other skin condition. It detoxifies the body and modifies the function of the liver and gallbladder, thereby preventing serious health issues and promoting overall metabolic efficiency. Recent studies are also being carried out about agrimony’s anti-cancerous properties, which can be further used to prevent cancer. These medicinal benefits of agrimony are opening great opportunities to the global market. 
Apart from all the benefits and uses, the herbal remedies from agrimony must be used carefully, as they can cause certain susceptible individuals to experience the symptoms of photodermatitis, a type of skin rash which can develop after the consumption of the herb and which comes on when the person’s skin is constantly exposed to direct sunlight. The consumption of this medicine can also lower down blood pressure level of that particular individual, hence the herbal remedies should not be carried out by those who are susceptible to low blood pressure issues. These are some of the factors which can further retain the agrimony market to grow in the forecast period. 
Some of the major key players involved in the production of agrimony are Emorsgate Seeds, Falcon Russia., Healingherbs Ltd., G. Baldwin & Co., Monterey Bay Spice Company, Inc., Carrubba INC., and others.
