Botanical Name: Geranium Maculatum Country of Origin: USA Common Name: Cranesbill Root English Name: Cranesbill Root Cut & Sifted French Name: Racine de Géranium Coupée et Tamisée Also Known As: Geranium Root C/S, Dried Cranesbill Root, Geranium maculatum Root, Cranesbill Herb Part Used: Dried roots of Geranium maculatum Description: Cranesbill Root C/S is prepared from the mature roots of Geranium maculatum, a perennial herb native to North America and temperate regions. The plant produces fibrous, branching roots that are harvested when fully developed to ensure uniformity in size, density, and colour. The roots exhibit a light brown to tan exterior with a firm, fibrous interior structure. After harvesting, the roots are carefully cleaned to remove soil, fine rootlets, and debris. They are then dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving the natural colour, fibrous texture, and structural integrity of the roots. Once dried, the roots are cut and sifted into uniform pieces suitable for handling, blending, and storage. The finished cut and sifted root pieces are firm, light to medium brown in colour, and display a natural fibrous texture. The uniform size and shape provide a stable, clean botanical ingredient while maintaining the structural and visual characteristics of the original roots. Uses: Cranesbill Root C/S is used in botanical craft projects, educational herb kits, decorative displays, and potpourri-style blends. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, natural dye applications, and creative projects that require dried root material for texture, colour, and visual appeal. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
