Alchemilla vulgaris (Alchemilla vulgaris)
Alchemilla vulgaris, formerly also known as shovelwort, granny's pocket or shepherd's pocket, is a medicinal plant that can be found almost all over Europe. It is characterised by its small green flowers and lobes, which often curl backwards to form its typical shape. In the Middle Ages, the plant was used to treat wounds and haemorrhoids; in modern times, its effects are most often used in gynaecology. It has an effect on hormonal balance and can help in the treatment of infertility.
Contryhel is most commonly processed into tea blends that can help with various female ailments such as painful menstruation or irregular cycles. It is also a component of some ointments and creams intended for external use, where it can aid in the healing of wounds and eczema. In addition, contrylic extract is also used in cosmetics. Its beneficial effects on the skin, especially its ability to tighten pores and soothe irritated skin, are especially appreciated by people with problematic skin. The use of contryhel is therefore very broad and ranges from medicine to cosmetics.
