Shepherd's Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), also known as Mother's Heart, Pickpocket Herb, Lady's Purse, or Bolsa de Pastor (in Spanish), is a traditional women's wellness herb valued for its ability to support healthy circulation, balance hormones, and reduce excess bleeding.
Rich in flavonoids, vitamin K, and natural astringents, Shepherd's Purse helps tone the uterus, regulate menstrual flow, and soothe post-partum discomfort. It's also known to support urinary health, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing due to its natural tightening and cleansing effects on tissues.
Traditionally used as a tea, tincture, or compress, Shepherd's Purse is a trusted ally for menstrual balance, bladder support, and gentle recovery after childbirth or surgery.
