John Clarke, A Dictionary of Practical MM:
Other men from various countries make the
following comment:
Gerarde: "Shepherds Purse stayeth bleeding
in any part of the body, whether the juice or the decoction thereof be drunk,
or whether it be used poultice-wise, or in both, or any way else”. The
decoction will stop diarrhea, blood spitting, hematuria, and all other fluxes
of the blood spitting, hematuria, and all other fluxes of the blood. Thlasp. is
the white mans faithful friend. "A native of
Burnett: An organ remedy of vast importance.
The tincture, he said, is the best thing to give for menses that have been
checked; for uterine hemorrhages he preferred the attentions. He has observed
it to cause sexual excitement like cantharis. It aided in the cure of an
inveterate case of gallstones, the origin of which he traced to the uterus.
Dudgeon: Quotes a case of Rademachers showing
the action of Thlasp, on uric acid excretion. A woman whom Rademacher had
relieved ten years before of a large quantity of urinary sand, again presented
herself; her abdominal cavity was full of water, extremely swollen, and she was
passing urine of a light red color with blood sediment. Thlasp. 30 drops 5x
daily was given solely with the idea of stopping the hematuria. But the result was-a
more copious discharge of urinary sand than ever before the urine increased,
the dropsy disappeared and the woman was cured. Quotes case of Kinils: A woman
had strangury three weeks after confinement; she could not retain or urine.
which dribbled drop by drop. Thlasp. 30 drops 5x daily removed strangury a
once, and in a few days the urine could be trained and became clear without
sediment. "Dysuria of old persons, when the passing is painful and there
is at the same clear without sediment. "Dysuria of old persons, when the
passing is painful and there is at the same time spasmodic retention of
it" an indication given by Reer. Dudgeons own case are no less less
striking:
1) A lady, aged 76 had rheumatic muscular pains
in various parts, and the most abundant secretion of urine acid, which passed
away with every decoration of uric acid, which passed away with every
discharges of uric acid. which passed away with every discharge of urine.
Sometimes small calculi formed and then there was much pain in their passage
along the urethra, but generally it passed in the form of coarse and, which
formed a thick layer a the bottom of the utensil. This sand continued to pass
after the cessation of the rheumatic pains, which lasted 6 or 7 weeks. Puls.,
Pic-ac., Lyc.,. had no effect. Thlasp. diminished the sand to an insignificant
amount.

Taschenkraut, Beuteldieb
Der botanische Name ist abgeleitet vom lateinischen Wort „capsella“ für
„kleine Tasche“.
Es gibt vom Hirtentäschel drei Arten:
Gewöhnliches Hirtentäschel
(Capsella bursa- pastoris [L.] Medik.)
Capsella grandiflora (Fauche & Chaub.) Boiss.
Rötliches Hirtentäschel
(Capsella rubella Reut.)
Medizinische Bedeutung hat ausschließlich das Gewöhnliche
Hirtentäschel.
Es ist eine ein- bis zweijährige krautige Pflanze, die 10 bis 50 cm
hoch wird und bis zu 90 cm tiefe Wurzeln hat. Die Grundblätter sind in Form
einer Rosette angeordnet, schmal länglich und gezähnt bis fiederspaltig, selten
ganzrandig. Die aufrechte Sprossachse kann einfach oder verzweigt sein und
trägt im oberen Teil eine Traube von zahlreichen Blüten, die sich später zu
gestielten, abstehenden, herzförmigen bis dreieckigen Schötchen entwickeln. Die
Blütenkronblätter sind 2 bis 3 mm lang und weiß. Die Schötchen enthalten in
jedem Fach bis zu zwölf Samen.
Es ist in fast ganz Europa verbreitet und man kann die Pflanze bis in
Höhen von 2300 m antreffen. Hauptsächliche Standorte sind Ruderalstellen (von
Menschen übermäßig geprägte Standorte), Äcker und Gärten. Die Pflanze ist
stickstoff- und lichtliebend und gedeiht auf nährstoffreichen Böden.
Sie stammt wahrscheinlich aus Südeuropa (Mittelmeergebiet) und Westasien,
wurde aber vom Menschen weltweit verbreitet und eingebürgert.
Die Pflanze ist eines der hartnäckigsten Wildkräuter. Pro Jahr können
bis zu vier Generationen auftreten. Eine Pflanze produziert dabei bis zu 64000
Samen und blüht bei günstigen Bedingungen fast das ganze Jahr über (die Blüten
besitzen keine Blühperiodizität).
Es wird innerlich verwendet zur symptomatischen Behandlung von
Menorrhagie (verlängerte Monatsblutungsdauer), Metrorrhagie (azyklische
Blutungen aus der Gebärmutter außerhalb des normalen Menstruationszyklus) und
zur lokalen Behandlung bei Nasenbluten.
Homöopathie: Behandlung von Blutungen sowie bei Gallen- und
Nierenerkrankungen eingesetzt.
Äußerlich verwendet man die Pflanze bei oberflächlichen, blutenden
Hautverletzungen.
Anwendungsgebiete
Antihämorrhagisch (blutungshemmend) bei
schmerzhaften und zu starken
Monatsblutung
Gebärmutterblutungen
Äußerlich
gegen kleine blutende Wunden
gegen Nasenbluten
Erkrankungen der Harnorgane
Blasenleiden
Nierengrieß
Die Pflanze enthält etwa 32% Aminosäuren und Proteine. Außerdem sind
einige bedeutende Flavonoide enthalten (u.a. Quercetin [das wichtigste und am
weitesten verbreitete Flavonoid], Kämpferol, Luteolin, Diosmetin, Diosmin),
ätherische Öle, Tannine, Phenolcarbonsäuren, terpenoide Verbindungen, Tyramin
(siehe Bild), Acetylcholin, Flavonglykoside (u.a. Rutin [ein
Quercetin-Glykosid, bekannt für seine Venenwirksamkeit]), Saponine, ferner
Alkaloide (Burserin), Kalium- und Kalziumsalze und Vitamin C.
Achtung
Tyramin kann Auslöser für eine Allergie oder für Migräne sein. Bei
Medikation mit unselektiven MAO-Hemmern kann es zu einer Anreicherung des
Tyramins mit stark ausgeprägter Kreislaufwirkung bis hin zu einer hypertensiven
Krise kommen („Cheese-Effect“)
