Vaginal issues are very common and regardless of their cause, they still seek medical attention. The good news is that there is a way to prevent bacteria from reaching the vaginal area.
Lady`s mantle, also referred to as Agile Frog, lion`s foot, virak, or rabbit`s foot, has been widely used since antiquity. These days it is known as cure-all for many women-related health issues. Johan Kincora, a Swiss herbalist, claims that 30 percent of all gynecological issues can be prevented with the consumption of Lady`s mantle tea.
The root doesn’t provide any medicinal properties, meaning that you need the flowers and leaves only. The best period for collecting the leaves is July/ August. However, if you collect them after blooming, they lose some of their power.
This plant is abundant in organic acids, tannins, salicylic acid, flavonoids, and vitamin C. It has a bitter taste due to the tannin content, but this is what brings its potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Health Benefits of Lady`s Mantle
- It’s the ideal plant for pregnant women and those trying to conceive
Even though its medicinal properties are still being examined, many studies show that it is the best natural remedy when it comes to infertility. It regulates the menstrual cycle, regulates the hormones, stimulates growth, and it strengthens the uterine wall. This means that it acts as preventive measure against miscarriages. Moreover, it removes excess pounds and helps with polycystic ovary. Last but not least, it is useful for women who have just given birth, as it helps them get back to shape and recover from the labor.
