Shepherd’s Purse Cut is a dried cut herb traditionally used as an astringent and mild diuretic herb. It has a long history in herbal practice for menstrual comfort, fluid-balance routines, digestive upset and external compresses. Because the source mentions bleeding, dysentery, blood pressure, kidney concerns and heart stimulation, these uses should be approached only with professional guidance. The cut format is simple to steep and strain for short-term herbal preparations.

♡ Why we love it: Shepherd’s purse is a focused traditional herb with a firm astringent character. The cut format is practical for measured teas and simple external compresses when used carefully.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in large pack sizes.
