Lady’s mantle has an affinity for the female reproductive system although it can be used for men too. It is used to relieve period pains, regulate periods, reduce heavy periods, promote fertility and it has a role to play in easing the changes of menopause. Its astringency provides a role in the treatment of diarrhoea, as a mouthwash for sores and ulcers and as a gargle for laryngitis.
