Strawberry leaf tea is valuable especially for diarrhea in children and for disorders of the urinary organs. Traditionally recommended for gout and digestive disorders. Also used as a mouthwash to freshen breath and strengthen gums. A traditional ingredient in 'pregnancy' and 'female toner' teas.

Grieve’s classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Laxative, diuretic, astringent. Both the leaves and the fruit were in early pharmacopoeias, though the leaves were mostly used.'

'The root is astringent and used in diarrhoea. The leaves have the same property, and a tea made from them checks dysentery. The stalks only entered into the composition of the once-famous Antioch drink and vulnerary. Some recipes order that the drink should be prepared between the feasts of St. Philip and St. James and the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.'

'Dosage: Infusion, 1 to 2 tablespoonsful.'

King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'The leaves are slightly astringent, and have been used , in infusion, in diarrhoea, dysentery, and intestinal debility; the roots are diuretic, and have been beneficially used, in infusion, in dysuria, gonorrhoea, etc.'

'The leaves of the wild strawberry, gathered after the ripening of. the fruit, and dried in the sun, or in heated pans, afford a greenish and slightly astringent infusion, like that of the Chinese tea, with similar diaphoretic, diuretic, and excitant properties.'
