Answers:
Shepherd's Purse (Capsella bursapastoris) has been used to control and reduce the amount of bleeding after delivery with the expulsion of the placenta. It's given as a tea at the onset of labor and then additionally applied as apoultice immediately after the infant is delivered but just before the afterbirth is presented.
