Shepherd’s Purse is considered by many herbalists to be the best herb to stop bleeding of all kinds: wounds, nose, head injury, stomach, lung, uterus and especially from the kidneys. A liquid extract was used in Europe during WWII when golden seal was not available. The leaves are similar tasting to radishes or mustard greens and are popular in China as an ingredient in dumplings. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the herb is said to “brighten the eyes.”
