🤍 Shepherd`s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) smells salty, seaweedy, rich and nutritious, like the smell of a savoury vegetable soup. This indicates the rich array of nutritional constituents including vitamins and minerals.
It is also warm, dry and constricting. It is warming due to the stimulating action to move blood, suited specifically to bleeding conditions where the blood is stagnant, dark and slowly oozing. This contrasts the haemostatic action of a herb like yarrow (Achillea millefolium), which is cooling, and suited to conditions where the blood is red and haemorrhaging.
