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.
