Alchemilla vulgaris
Horses and sheep enjoy eating Lady’s Mantle, particularly when its leaves are a bit drier.
Lady’s Mantle has astringent and styptic properties and therefore is very good to assist with wound healing, to reduce bleeding and bruising internally and externally. It has also been used for diabetes, to strengthen and help with contraception, as a general tonic and to strengthen the walls of the arteries. The gypsies used it as a tonic after a horse has had colic.
