Capsella bursa-pastoris is used chiefly to control bleeding, both internally and externally. But it is also believed to relieve urinary tract infection, diarrhea, and varicose veins. It is also edible and very nutritious.
It has been used as a treatment for duodenal ulcers and also stops bleeding of all kinds, internal and external bleeding, like acute bleeding symptoms of endometriosis, excessive menstrual flow, bleeding hemorrhoids, controlling profuse menstruation. Used in both Eastern and Western for centuries, Capsella bursa-pastoris is thought to be a very useful herb for gynecological conditions. Used topically, it is also thought to be a vaso-constrictor that is useful in alleviating varicose veins. It has been used as a blood coagulant to reduce or stop hemorrhage and bleeding from internal organs, particularly bleeding of the lungs, kidneys, stomach, postpartum and uterine.
Considered a diuretic with antiseptic properties it promotes the flow of urine, and it helps to rid toxins from the body through the increased urine. The herb has been used to treat urinary tract infections, such as cystitis, abscess of the bladder, white mucous matter in the urine and also helps to flush uric acid and stones and gravel from the kidneys.

Medicinal

Shepherd’s purse is little used in herbalism, though it is a commonly used domestic remedy, being especially efficacious in the treatment of both internal and external bleeding, diarrhoea etc[4, 222].
A tea made from the whole plant is antiscorbutic, astringent, diuretic, emmenagogue, haemostatic, hypotensive, oxytocic, stimulant, vasoconstrictor, vasodilator and vulnerary[4, 7, 9, 13, 21, 46, 147, 165, 172, 176, 222]. A tea made from the dried herb is considered to be a sovereign remedy against haemorrhages of all kinds – the stomach, the lungs, the uterus and more especially the kidneys[4, 222]. The plant has been approved by the European Commission E for the treatment of nosebleeds, premenstrual syndrome, and wounds and burns[299]. The plant can be used fresh or dried, for drying it is harvested in the summer[9]. The dried herb quickly loses its effectiveness and should not be stored for more than a year[9].
Clinical trials on the effectiveness of this plant as a wound herb have been inconclusive[244]. It appears that either it varies considerably in its effectiveness from batch to batch, or perhaps a white fungus that is often found on the plant contains the medically active properties[244].
The plant has been ranked 7th amongst 250 potential anti-fertility plants in China[218]. It has proven uterine-contracting properties and is traditionally used during childbirth[222].
The plant is a folk remedy for cancer – it contains fumaric acid which has markedly reduced growth and viability of Ehrlich tumour in mice[218].
A homeopathic remedy is made from the fresh plant[4]. It is used in the treatment of nose bleeds and urinary calculus[7].

How to Use: Shepherds Purse

Shepherd’s purse is one of the important herbs to stop bleeding an effect due to the tyramine and other amines it contains. This property leads to its use is a number of conditions such as heavy menstrual bleeding, nosebleeds, and as a post-partum herb. The herb is both a vasodilator, and also hastens coagulation and constrict blood vessels.
Shepherd’s purse contains a protein that acts in the same way in the body as the hormone oxytocin, constricting the smooth muscles that support and surround blood vessels, especially those in the uterus. Other chemicals in the herb may accelerate clotting. Still other compounds in the herb help the uterus contact, explaining the long-time use of the herb to help the womb return to normal size after childbirth.
