Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla Vulgaris).
Astringent and styptic. Its true range ( a plant of cool hill areas) is an echo of the areas occupied by the Brigantes.The Common Lady's Mantle is generally distributed over Britain, but more especially in the colder districts and on high-lying ground, being found up to an altitude of 3,600 feet in the Scotch Highlands. It is not uncommon in moist, hilly pastures and by streams, except in the south-east of England, and is abundant in Yorkshire, especially in the Dales. It is indeed essentially a plant of the north, freely found beyond the Arctic circle in Europe, Asia and also in Greenland and Labrador, and only on high mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, if found in southern latitudes.
A very important emmenogogue herb, a suggested mix for the distressed female patient would be perhaps :
Alchemilla , Vitex and Chamomilla.
The Alchemilla name is because of the vast range of middle age usage , the herb was deemed "alchemical" because of its great ability to heal many diseases.
