Women in Arab countries believe that this herb restores beauty and youth - needless to say, it is very popular in that part of the world. Traditionally, Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) has been used by Western herbalists topically on wounds to stop bleeding and promote healing. Taken internally, Lady's Mantle is used to regulate menstruation and stimulate the appetite. It also makes a soothing douche for mild vaginal irritations. The botanical name, Alchemilla, is derived from the word "alchemy" because the herbs in this family are believed to bring about miraculous cures.
Possible benefits of using Lady's Mantle are that it promotes coagulation of the blood, menstrual regularity, and stops bleeding. It also improves appetites and reduces vaginal irritation.
Lady's Mantle can be taken in a cup of tea daily, by putting 1 tablespoon of the dried herb into hot water (or in a tea ball), and then strained.
