LADY'S MANTLE crushed

Lady’s mantle is a perennial herb with fan-shaped leaves that like to grow in meadows, roadsides and shorelines, preferring a location with sun or partial shade and fairly dry, sandy soil. Medieval alchemists collected the drops of rain or dew in the leaf center for its purported magical and medicinal powers, resulting in the latin name of the plant, alchemilla, from Arabic, “alkimiya”, universal cure for disease.
