„The herb [whole herb, Bursae pastoris herba] is traditionally used to stop bleeding and to treat heavy periods (menorrhagia), diarrhoea and cystitis. In chinese medicine it is used for unspecified eye diseases and dysentery… Despite animal studies showing anti-inflammatory , anti-ulcer, diuretic, hypotensive and other effects, the traditional uses of sheperd's burse are not well explained. It is thought that a peptide with oxytocin-like activity is responsible for the antihaemorrhagic action.“
