St. Francis Shepherd's Purse Tincture Details
Used in Traditional Western Herbalism as a uterine tonic and for menstrual pain, as well as for diarrhea.
Shepherd's purse is a small, unassuming plant found in waste ground across the temperate world, named for the heart-shaped seed pods that resemble a medieval shepherd's pouch. Its traditional use is specific and long-standing: as a uterine tonic, and for heavy or painful menstruation.
Made from shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris, flowering tops) at 250 mg Quantity Crude Equivalent per millilitre, in a base of distilled water and certified organic alcohol. 50 ml with a dropper.
St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid herbal extracts in Ontario since 1988. Their tinctures use certified organic alcohol and distilled water, and are made to a stated extraction ratio so you know the strength of what you are taking.
Who St. Francis Shepherd's Purse Tincture Is For
This is for women dealing with menstrual pain or heavy periods who want a traditional herbal option. It is also traditionally used for diarrhea, which is a separate and unrelated use.
Consult a practitioner if symptoms worsen or persist, and **before use if you have a history of kidney stones**. Heavy menstrual bleeding that is new or worsening should be investigated rather than managed, since it can point to fibroids or other causes.
