In the Middle Ages, a Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla Vulgaris) was considered sacred to various Earth goddesses and later became the herb of the Virgin Mary. The herb's styptic, tissue-contracting, and astringent properties made it useful for treating wounds and stopping bleeding.
Alchemilla Vulgaris was commonly called rattlesnake root because it was used as an antidote for poisonous snake bites. Lady's Mantle was also used to induce sleep, cure excessive menstruation, and shrink and firm the breasts.
As a tonic, Alchemilla Vulgaris Extract has been taken to improve the appetite and strengthen the heart and blood vessels. The freshly pressed juice is said to be helpful for acne and to fade freckles.
Alchemilla Vulgaris Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. The extract of the Lady's mantle is used in creams, lotions, gels, herbal wraps, bath preparations, and skin-firming products.Synonyms
