Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), known as Bolsa de Pastor, is a traditional aerial herb valued in Western herbal practice for its astringent nature and long-standing role in women’s wellness traditions.
It has been traditionally included in herbal preparations associated with menstrual cycle support and circulatory toning. Its naturally drying, tightening character makes it a classic herb in traditional astringent formulations.
