Antirheumatic, haemostatic, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, sedative, and used for wound treatment. The herb called Lady’s Mantle in English and Shapiche in Bulgarian has a long history. It is for external use to treat cuts and wounds, and internally, against diarrhea and many female ailments.
