Shepherd’s Purse Powder – Natural Support for Bleeding, Uterine Health & Wound Care

Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is a time-honored herb used in traditional medicine for its remarkable ability to reduce bleeding, tone the uterus, and support wound healing. Named for its purse-shaped seed pods, this powerful little plant is especially valued in women’s wellness and first aid herbal care.

Key Benefits:

Stops Excess Bleeding Naturally: Traditionally used to reduce heavy menstrual flow, postpartum bleeding, and nosebleeds. Supports normal blood clotting and internal wound healing.

Tones & Strengthens the Uterus: Helps regulate menstruation, ease uterine cramps, and promote recovery after childbirth or miscarriage.

Supports Urinary Health: Acts as a mild diuretic that helps relieve water retention, urinary tract irritation, and bladder discomfort.

Promotes Skin & Wound Healing: Can be applied to minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises to stop bleeding and speed healing. Also used for hemorrhoids and varicose veins.

Balances Menstrual Flow: Used for both heavy and irregular periods, Shepherd’s Purse helps bring the cycle back into balance.

Anti-inflammatory & Astringent: Reduces swelling and inflammation, especially in tissues affected by minor injury or excessive bleeding.

Supports Blood Vessel Health: Helps strengthen capillaries and blood vessels, making it beneficial for managing varicose veins and preventing easy bruising.

May Ease Mild Diarrhea: Due to its astringent action, it can help firm stools and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort in cases of mild diarrhea.
