My friend just got a beautiful excalibur 9 tray food dehydrator and she has generously lent it to me for use in exchange for some babysitting. My first project was to take all the wild shepherds purse and dry it so that I can make a fresh tincture from the herb. This herb is often referred to as mother's heart because the little seed pods look just like little hearts. This herb can be used during the birth of a child to prevent loss of blood. It's also used for heavy menstruation. I'm preparing this tincture specifically for my friend who loaned me the dehydrator. She has a history of blood loss - in her last birth she lost a lot of blood. It's a good herb to have on hand in the occurence of any situation where clotting of blood is needed. The herb contains a high concentration of vitamin K which is the vitamin sometimes administered to newborns after birth in the incidence that the baby might lack this essential vitamin.
