Traditionally, lady's mantle (known as 'a woman's best friend') was used for treating female ailments, including vaginal discharges, itching and menstrual disorders. Culpeper said that "it helps ruptures, and women who have over-flagging breasts, causing them to grow less and hard." He also considered it to be one of "the most singular wound-herbs," highly praising it for "all wounds, inward and outward." In addition to being valued for its restorative and wound-healing properties, the herb was used to staunch bleeding, and to treat inflammation, bruises, boils, sores and burns. It was also taken as a digestive tonic, and for diarrhoea.
Culinary Usage
The mildly-bitter leaves of lady's mantle were added to salads.
Miscellaneous
A native of mountainous areas of Europe, lady's mantle was reputed to possess magical powers, particularly as, unlike other herbs, its leaves produced big shining pearls of dew overnight. Collected at dawn, the dew, or 'celestial water', was used by medieval alchemists in their experiments to turn base metals into gold and silver. Indeed, its botanical name Alchemilla ('the little magical one') is thought to derive from the Arabic for 'alchemy'. Our Lady's mantle, however, refers to the Virgin Mary, to whom the herb is dedicated; while the shape of the leaves was supposed to resemble her cloak. Cows that graze on the herb were said to increase their milk production. It is also liked by horses and sheep. The leaves yield a green dye, and were also used in cosmetics.
