Introduced to American herbalists and physicians by Native Americans, Cransbill Root (Geranium Macalatum) has a long history in folk medicine and traditional lore. As usual, this results in the herb being known by an assortment of common names including Alum Root, Dovefoot, and Old Maid's Nightcap. Known to the Chippewa for its use in treating sores of the mouth, it was often used for this purpose. Its popularity among settlers and frontiersmen came from hunters and travelers who would use it to ease digestive problems caused from poor water sources when they were out ranging at length.
In modern herbalism it is applied to a wide range of purposes, though for the most part the old traditions remain the most effective methods for using it. As part of a gargle it is often used for treating sores within the mouth. It is also popular for treating diarrhea and dysentery and similar such matters, just as it was for frontiersmen of old.
