Shepherd's purse is astringent, diuretic, and a mild uterine stimulant. It can be used to help stop excessive menstrual bleeding by regulating the cycle gently. As an astringent and uterine stimulant, it helps to normalize function while gently reducing menstrual flow. Because shepherd's purse is a uterine stimulant, it should not be used during pregnancy. However, it is helpful during labor and especially just after birth, where it will help tone the uterine tissues and control bleeding.
As an astringent, shepherd's purse can also be used in mild diarrhea, especially if bleeding is involved. Externally, the fresh plant can be crushed and applied to fresh wounds once they have been cleaned, where it will help stop slow bleeding and reduce inflammation.
Because of its diuretic action, shepherd's purse can be used in any kind of fluid retention, where it will act to promote the flow of urine. This action, combined with its astringency, makes it a helpful herb in the premenstrual symptoms of bloating with water retention and cyclic irregularity. In this case, it can aid in reducing edema and may help regulate the cycle. | | | | | | | |
