Benefits of Shepherd's Purse
If you do not need it, this plant is everywhere. As soon as it is around, it will quickly affect your whole neighbourhood. You can pull it again and again, and it will pop out of the dirt again in no time. Still, it is good to have it.
It is called a shepherd's purse. That is due to the specific shape of the flowers, which resembles a heart. In earlier times, it was only found in Europe and parts of Asia, but because of its hardiness and spreadability, you can now find it almost globally. It prefers lower altitudes but can survive almost anywhere around human settlements.
It has a strong position in Ayurvedic and Chinese folk medicine. The flowers should be harvested at the time of vegetation and (once dried) can easily be made into a decoction or tincture. The infusion is suitable for consumption and external treatment. It contains many vital substances for the body, which, however, can have undesirable effects in large quantities. Therefore, pregnant and breastfeeding women and people suffering from thyroid disorders, high blood pressure, and heart problems should avoid the shepherd's purse.
