      Who Shepherd's Purse Is For

      • Women looking for a traditional herbal uterine tonic
      • Adults with menstrual pain who want a Traditional Western Herbalism option
      • Adults who want a traditional herbal remedy to help relieve diarrhea
      • Anyone who prefers a single-herb, certified organic tincture with a stated strength

      Who this product is NOT for:

      • Pregnant or breastfeeding women — the label says do not use
      • People with a history of kidney stones, unless a health-care practitioner advises it
      • Anyone with new, heavy or worsening bleeding — see a health-care practitioner first
      • Anyone avoiding alcohol — the extract is made with certified organic alcohol

      Vitamart's Take

      Shepherd's purse is a small, humble plant with a long, specific history in Western herbalism: as a uterine tonic and for menstrual pain, and separately for diarrhea. St. Francis keeps it simple — certified organic flowering tops at a stated strength, in a 50 mL bottle taken three times a day. It is a single herb, so it works well alongside other menstrual-support herbs if your practitioner recommends a combination. If you want a ready-made blend, St. Francis Regular Flow and Menstrual Tonic are the multi-herb options.

      How Shepherd's Purse Compares

      Shepherd's Purse vs. Regular Flow

      Shepherd's Purse is a single herb. St. Francis Regular Flow is a multi-herb formula aimed at heavy menstruation and cycle regularity.

      Shepherd's Purse vs. Menstrual Tonic

      St. Francis Menstrual Tonic (formerly Dong Quai Combo) is a multi-herb uterine tonic for menstrual pain built around dong quai.

      Shepherd's Purse vs. Crampbark

      St. Francis Crampbark is a traditional antispasmodic used for muscle spasms and menstrual cramps — a different approach to period pain.
