Shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is a flowering plant belonging to the mustard family. Native to Asia and parts of Eastern Europe, shepherd’s purse is often used for culinary purposes, especially in Asian cuisine. In the West, it is widely regarded as a weed, but, in the East, shepherd’s purse is often used in herbal medicine to treat circulatory problems, menstrual disorders, and other health conditions.
Shepherd’s purse is recognized by its long stem, deep-toothed leaves, and cluster of tiny white blossoms. The name refers to the plant’s triangular-shaped seed pod, which looks like a purse.
Despite its purported benefits, shepherd’s purse may cause significant side effects and interact with certain drugs, including thyroid medications.
