Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is a small, hardy plant in the mustard family, named for its heart-shaped seed pods. It has a long record of use in traditional European herbalism.* Naturalma prepares the whole herb as a glyceric macerate, so the extract is free of alcohol and sugar and suitable for anyone who prefers a non-alcoholic tincture.

What's inside

• Shepherd's purse herb liquid extract concentrated 1:10
• 40 drops (2 mL) contain 2.3 g of shepherd's purse extract
• 100% natural, alcohol-free and sugar-free glyceric macerate
• Vegan, with no artificial ingredients
• 4 fl oz bottle, made in Italy

How to use

Take 40 drops (2 mL) in a little water, or as directed on the label. The 4 fl oz bottle provides roughly 60 servings at that amount, so it is a long-lasting option compared with the usual 1 or 2 oz tincture.

Why we carry it

Shepherd's purse is hard to find as a quality single-herb extract. Naturalma states the exact concentration and herb equivalent per serving, uses a glycerin base instead of alcohol, and sells it in a generous 4 oz size. That level of dose transparency is uncommon among tinctures.
