Introduction
*Shepherd’s purse is a temperate zone weed in the mustard family, the same as cabbage, broccoli, and watercress. It is a biennial with an erect stem emerging from a rosette of leaves at its base. It bears four-petalled white flowers that produce heart or purse shaped seedpods. Its name comes from its resemblance to a shepherd’s pouch in the middle ages. It is used for headache, vomiting blood, blood in the urine, diarrhea, and bladder infections. Women use shepherd’s purse for premenstrual problems, long periods, post-partum hemorrhage and menstrual cramps. .

Very effective against caffeine headaches. I took one and a half droppers in about 6oz of water. I started feeling better within 15 minutes, and 30 minutes later my headache was completely gone. Very happy with this product!!
