"When all thoughts
are exhausted
I slip into the woods
and gather
a pile of Shephards Purse
~Taigu Ryokan-
Capsella bursa-pastoris
"Despite being regarded as a weed, the plant may also have a number of other uses. It is gathered in the wild to supplement fed for animals but is also harvested for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. In parts of China, the herb is used as an ingredient in stir-fries, rice cakes and especially for Chinese dumplings. The roots of the plant are also used as a culinary ingredient in South Korea. In terms of its medicinal uses, shepherd’s purse has traditionally been consumed in tea or tincture form or in creams and ointments to treat the skin."
