[tab name="Precautions"]


Shepherd’s Purse regulates circulation and blood pressure. If you are on any type of blood pressure medicine, do not take in combination with this tincture. If you have a history of blood clots, do not take this tincture. Shepherd’s Purse may interact unfavorably with sedative medications such as benzodiazepines, alcohol, barbiturates and certain antihistamines.

Shepherd’s Purse should not be taken while you are pregnant as it may have some oxytocin effects. Oxytocin is a hormone which causes contraction of the uterus during labor and may cause premature birth or harmful uterine contractions. Herbalists have used this herb traditionally to assist during labor, however avoid excessive use during lactation.

Isothiocyanate found in Shepherd’s Purse may interfere with thyroid function if taken in excessive amounts.
