Cranesbill root (Geranium maculatum),, also known as alum root or wild geranium, is a flowering herb native to eastern North America. Historically, various indigenous tribes have utilized cranesbill root for its medicinal properties. The Blackfoot people used it to stop bleeding, while others used it to treat diarrhea, particularly in children. Cranesbill root's medicinal uses stem from its astringent properties, which come from high levels of tannins. These tannins are thought to reduce inflammation and irritation in the mucous membranes, making cranesbill root a potential soother for sore throats, canker sores, and diarrhea.

It's important to note that while cranesbill root has a long history of traditional use, there is limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness for many of these conditions. Additionally, cranesbill root is sometimes used in magickal practices. In these traditions, cranesbill root is associated with healing, protection, and banishing negativity.
