The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Lady's mantle herb for 'Light and nonspecific diarrhea.'

'Average daily dosage: 5 - 10 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut herb for infusions and decoctions, as well as other galenical preparations for internal use.'

'Duration of Administration: If diarrhea persists longer than 3 - 4 days, consult with a physician.'

'Action: Astringent.'

Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Part Used Medicinally: The whole herb, gathered in June and July when in flower and when the leaves are at their best, and dried.'

'Medicinal Action and Uses: The Lady's Mantle has astringent and styptic properties, on account of the tannin it contains. It is 'of a very drying and binding character' as the old herbalists expressed it, and was formerly considered one of the best vulneraries or wound herbs.'

'Culpepper says of it:
'Lady's Mantle is very proper for inflamed wounds and to stay bleeding, vomitings, fluxes of all sorts, bruises by falls and ruptures. It is one of the most singular wound herbs and therefore highly prized and praised, used in all wounds inward and outward, to drink a decoction thereof and wash the wounds therewith, or dip tents therein and put them into the wounds which wonderfully drieth up all humidity of the sores and abateth all inflammations thereof. It quickly healeth green wounds, not suffering any corruption to remain behind and cureth old sores, though fistulous and hollow.'

'In modern herbal treatment, it is employed as a cure for excessive menstruation and is taken internally as an infusion 1 oz. of the dried herb to 1 pint of boiling water in teacupful doses as required and the same infusion is also employed as an injections.'

'A strong decoction of the fresh root, by some considered the most valuable part of the plant, has also been recommended as excellent to stop all bleedings, and the root dried and reduced to powder is considered to answer the same purpose and to be good for violent purgings.'

'In Sweden, a tincture of the leaves has been given in cases of spasmodic or convulsive diseases, and an old authority states that if placed under the pillow at night, the herb will promote quiet sleep.'

'Fluid extract, dose, ½ to 1 drachm.'
