• FAQ's

• Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) has long been valued in Western herbal medicine for its ability to help maintain healthy menstrual flow and uterine tone. Traditionally, it has been used to assist in reducing heavy or prolonged bleeding, including cases linked to uterine fibroids, and to ease pelvic heaviness and lower abdominal discomfort during menstruation. Its natural astringent actions help tighten and tone tissues, supporting balanced circulation within the uterus and promoting a steadier menstrual rhythm.

  Herbalists also prepare Shepherd’s Purse to support recovery after childbirth, helping the uterus contract back to its natural size and restoring tone to reproductive tissues. Beyond women’s health, it has been used to help firm relaxed tissues throughout the body, including the bladder and digestive tract, supporting urinary comfort and digestive stability. Its broad astringent and circulatory properties make it a key herb for maintaining structural integrity and healthy blood vessel function throughout the body.

  Energetic qualities: In Western herbalism, Shepherd’s Purse is considered cooling and drying. It is chosen when there is a sense of laxity, heaviness, or excess bleeding, helping to restore tone and balance. By improving tone and reducing congestion, it helps restore firmness to the uterus and surrounding tissues, supporting balanced function and a more comfortable menstrual cycle.

  NatroVital Shepherd’s Purse delivers this time-honoured herb in a pure, alcohol-free liquid extract. Using only vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, it offers a clean, easy-to-take form that fits effortlessly into daily wellness routines—ideal for those seeking the traditional benefits of Shepherd’s Purse without alcohol or unnecessary additives.

Australian law only permits therapeutic claims for products that are TGA-listed or registered.

  How NatroVital Shepherd’s Purse is Made

  We begin with a carefully balanced extraction process designed to capture Shepherd’s Purse’s active phytochemicals — including flavonoids, organic acids, and alkaloids — known for supporting normal uterine tone, vascular strength, and tissue repair. These compounds contribute to Shepherd’s Purse’s traditional use in promoting balanced menstrual flow and improving capillary resilience throughout the body.

  After extraction, the alcohol is gently removed under vacuum at low temperatures to preserve the herb’s delicate plant constituents. The concentrated extract is then blended with vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, creating a premium-quality, alcohol-free tonic that maintains the herb’s integrity, activity, and natural synergy.

  Shepherd’s Purse has a long history of use in Western herbal medicine to regulate menstrual bleeding, support recovery following childbirth, and promote uterine tone. It is also valued for maintaining healthy bladder function, assisting in mild diarrhoea, and improving peripheral circulation and tissue firmness. These benefits make it a trusted herb for supporting the body’s natural capacity to restore balance and tone where it is needed most.

  Unlike tablets, capsules, or powders that must first be digested, liquid herbal tonics deliver active plant compounds in a form the body can absorb quickly and efficiently. Free from synthetic binders, fillers, or additives, each drop of NatroVital Shepherd’s Purse provides pure herbal support to promote menstrual comfort, healthy uterine function, and optimal tissue tone.

  Locally Made with Integrity: Every bottle of NatroVital Shepherd’s Purse is proudly crafted in our Australian facility. As a small, independently owned business, we’re committed to local production, herbal purity, and creating practitioner-grade formulas made with genuine care and respect for traditional plant medicine.

  ◄Are there any contraindications for using NatroVital Shepherd’s Purse?

  NatroVital Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is generally well tolerated when used as a dietary supplement within recommended dosages. However, there are some potential interactions with medications and health conditions that should be considered. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding.

  Anticoagulant & Antiplatelet Medications (Blood Thinners): Shepherd’s Purse contains compounds that may promote blood clotting and could reduce the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, aspirin, or heparin. This interaction may increase the risk of clot formation.

  Blood Pressure Medications: Research indicates that Shepherd’s Purse may have a mild blood pressure-lowering effect, which could enhance the action of antihypertensive medications and potentially cause low blood pressure (hypotension).

  Thyroid Disorders: Shepherd’s Purse contains small amounts of iodine and should be used cautiously by individuals with thyroid imbalance, particularly hyperthyroidism, unless supervised by a qualified practitioner.

  Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before introducing Shepherd’s Purse into your daily routine, especially if you are taking prescription medications or managing an underlying health condition. They can provide personalised advice to ensure it is suitable for your individual needs and help minimise the risk of interactions.
