Curious about something herbal...Has anyone heard of Shepherd's Purse?  I work as a pharm tech and I have never heard of this herb.  I have endo and one of the joys is very heavy bleeding.  I was doing some research and read that Shepherds Purse helps stop/slow blood flow.  This is kinda scary and I wouldn't take it without professional advice, but I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of it before or used it before for any reason?

I know nothing about Shepherd's Purse. I just wanted to let you know that if you don't get any answers here, you may consider checking out bloodmoonherbs to see if anyone there knows about it.

It's a hardy annual that reseeds like DOOM! It's considered a weed in some areas. I know plenty of folks who eat it as an early green. I don't use it for medicinal purposes and it's too aggressive for my tastes, garden-wise.

Thanks! I like that other community, very interesting! And it sounds like an annoying plant, but I was just inquiring anyway.
