Shepherds Purse

Description

Shepherds Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) goes by a few names such as Blind Weed, Capsella, and Witches Pouches.

This tea can be taken orally or applied as a tincture for minor wounds and cuts. Mostly known for the effects this herb has on bleeding, Shepherds Purse has been used for centuries to reduce flow in both long or heavy menstrual cycles.

Anecdotal evidence shows that this herb can even stop bleeding during cycles altogether - so depending on the person this is a powerful herb that should be used with caution.

A 2017 study on 100 women shows that postpartum bleeding may be reduced from the ingestion of this herb.

Others have reported this herb reducing or eliminating period pain.

Other properties are anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial.

organically grown Bulgaria

Cautionary notes

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Avoid unless instructed by a medical professional. Shepherd's Purse stimulates the uterus.

Bleeding and clotting: See your physician if you have a bleeding disorder or even use anticoagulants / antiplatelets (such as warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel).

Blood pressure and MAOIs: contains tyramine; Avoid if you take MAO inhibitor medicines or eat tyramine-restricted food. Monitor if you have hypertension.

Thyroid: high or chronic intake may affect iodine metabolism as a Brassicaceae plant; if you have a thyroid condition or take levothyroxine ask for advice.

Kidney problems/planned surgery: use cautiously; stop two weeks before surgery unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Allergies: Avoid if allergic to members of mustard/cabbage family (Brassicaceae).

Persistent or heavy bleeding and pelvic pain or urinary symptoms need medical assessment rather than self-treatment.

International Return and Refunds Policy

At Tea Life, we are proud to offer international shipping to many countries around the world so customers everywhere can enjoy our teas. However, due to the unpredictable nature of international postal systems, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee delivery once an order leaves Australia.

Important Information for International Customers:

  • While we provide tracking for most international shipments, delivery times may vary widely and can be affected by customs delays, local postal handling, or other factors beyond our control.

  • Tea Life does not offer refunds, replacements, or credits for international orders that are lost, delayed, or not received.
