Cinquefoils have had a colorful history. Witches were said to add them to their brew or to rub the plants on their bodies to produce trances. Medieval populations believed a tea made from the leaves would make a powerful love potion, while more practical people used the tea to treat mouth sores or to stop diarrhea. In her book Flowers and Their Histories, Alice M. Coats says that the plant’s five-fingered leaves came to represent the five senses; only knights that had the highest level of abilities and self-control were permitted to add cinquefoil to their coat of arms.
