Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) has a long-standing tradition in European herbalism, particularly for its astringent and wound-healing properties. Historically, the tannins present in Lady's Mantle have been used to tighten and tone tissues, which includes use as a mouth rinse for soothing inflamed or bleeding gums. Traditional herbal texts from Europe, especially those referencing folk medicine, mention Lady's Mantle as a remedy for oral and gum health, often as a decoction or infusion for gargling. However, there is a lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials specifically investigating Lady's Mantle for gum health. The existing evidence is largely anecdotal or based on the known astringent effects of its phytochemical content, such as tannins and flavonoids, which can help reduce minor inflammation or bleeding by contracting tissues. In summary, while Lady's Mantle has traditional use for supporting gum health, modern scientific validation is minimal, and its efficacy is primarily rooted in historical practice rather than rigorous clinical evidence.
