Quick-Acting Uterine Support
Benefits:
Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is a fast-acting herb traditionally used to support uterine tone and manage excessive bleeding. Known as a powerful ally in the postpartum period, it has long been used by midwives and herbalists for its ability to support healthy blood flow after birth, during menstruation, or in other instances of uterine atony.
How It Works:
Astringent & Toning: Shepherd’s Purse contains tannins that help tighten and tone uterine tissue, making it especially useful for slowing heavy bleeding.
Styptic Properties: It acts as a styptic herb—reducing bleeding through vascular constriction, particularly helpful postpartum or in cases of menorrhagia.
Supports Circulatory Balance: This herb is thought to help bring the circulatory system back into balance after the rapid shifts that occur during birth or menstruation.
Ingredients:
Shepherd’s Purse
Gluten Free Vodka
Suggested Use:
Rebecca’s Tips:
I keep this tincture close at hand in my birth bag and recommend it to new mothers for postpartum recovery—especially when bleeding is heavier than expected. It’s also a helpful remedy for women who experience intense or prolonged periods. For additional support, pair with Yarrow or Motherwort, depending on the situation.
