Cranesbill root comes from a species of garden-variety Geranium, which goes by the scientific name of Geranium maculatum. Native to the eastern woodlands of North America, Geranium maculatum is a perennial flower that grows in the wild and under cultivation as well. The part of the plant that is desired, the cranesbill root, must be harvested in late February or March before the signature purple flowers appear, since this is when the tannic acid in cranesbill root is at its most potent levels.

Like many other natural herbs, dried cranesbill root is often taken as an infusion, or in herbal teas.

Whole cranesbill root contains tannin, known to help in the absorption of excess water. Cranebill root is one of those wildcrafted herbs that is highly astringent.
