Shepherd’s Purse Herb Cut 75g

Pharma Germania Natural Products Shepherd’s Purse Herb Cut contains dried Capsella bursa-pastoris, a member of the Brassicaceae family named for its distinctive heart-shaped seed pods, traditionally thought to resemble a shepherd’s purse.

Shepherd’s Purse has a longstanding history in European herbal practice, particularly in women’s reproductive and menstrual preparations. Its traditional astringent properties have led to its use for supporting normal menstrual flow and menstrual wellbeing.

The herb has also traditionally been used to support urinary function and fluid balance, although these applications are based primarily on traditional herbal practice rather than robust clinical evidence.

Shepherd’s Purse naturally contains a range of plant constituents, including flavonoids, phenolic compounds, glucosinolates and other phytochemicals.

Although historically used for heavy menstrual bleeding and other forms of bleeding, Shepherd’s Purse should not be relied upon to manage abnormal or unexplained bleeding, which requires appropriate medical assessment.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Shepherd’s Purse?

Shepherd’s Purse is particularly associated with traditional women’s and menstrual herbal practice, where its astringent qualities have historically been used for menstrual-flow support.

However, abnormal menstrual or vaginal bleeding can have numerous underlying causes. Shepherd’s Purse should therefore be used for general traditional wellness support rather than as a substitute for investigation or treatment of heavy, persistent or unexplained bleeding.

Its historical association with uterine activity also means that medicinal use is not appropriate during pregnancy.
