Alchemillae herba

Naturopathically, the whole herb is used, but not the root. The extract contains tannins (6-8% to max. 18%) and flavenoids (about 2%). The tannins belong mainly to the hydrolysable tannins, which are also called ellagitannins. The main component is agrimoniin (gallotannin, a tannin consisting of 4 hexahydroxydiphenic acid units).
