INCI: Capsella bursa-pastoris

Shepherd’s Purse is a bulk dried herb from Capsella bursa-pastoris , 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 bulk format suits experienced herbal users and practitioners preparing controlled herbal preparations.

♡ Why we love it: Shepherd’s purse is a classic old-world astringent herb with a focused traditional profile. It is best suited to informed, short-term use and carefully guided herbal routines.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in a smaller retail size.
