Description
Javanshir Isayev and colleagues document traditional medicinal uses of lady's mantle plants in Azerbaijan, in a 2026 field study. Surveys ran across five mountain regions during 2024 and 2025, with interviews and questionnaires from 125 informants. Twenty one Alchemilla species from the rose family were recorded in local practice.
Uses centred on digestive, liver and bile, breathing, and skin problems, plus diabetes care. Agreement among informants was strongest for fever use, while digestive uses drew the most reports overall. Four species scored highest on use and citation measures. Those species are flagged as prime candidates for chemical and drug effect studies.
