Capsella anglica

Capsella anglica, also known as Shepherd's Purse, is a flowering plant species in the mustard family (Brassicaceae).

Traditionally, it has been used for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating blood-related conditions such as excessive menstrual bleeding, and its astringent and antiseptic qualities.

The plant's leaves, flowers, and seeds contain compounds with anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties, which may help to reduce blood loss and promote wound healing.

Herbal preparations of Capsella anglica, such as teas and tinctures, are sometimes used to support women's health and to help alleviate symptoms of menopause.
