Wild Teasel Tincture (1 : 4) Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) tincture made from ground root What is Wild Teasel? (Dipsacus fullonum) Although Wild Teasel resembles a thistle with its prickly flower heads, botanically it does not belong to the thistles but to a different plant family. Its botanical name is associated with the Greek word “dipsa”, meaning “thirst”. The opposite leaves form small, funnel-shaped basins around the stem where rainwater can collect. This distinctive leaf shape is often linked to the origin of the name. The name “teasel” also reflects a historical use. In the Middle Ages, the dried flower heads were used to comb or raise the surface of wool before it was processed and spun. This working step became associated with the name of the plant. The plant can grow up to two metres tall and is found in many parts of Europe and neighbouring regions. During its first year, it develops a low rosette of leaves. In the following year, the prickly stem and upright flower heads emerge. These flower heads can reach a length of up to 8 centimetres. The small violet individual flowers do not open all at once. They open in a ring and create a distinctive band that moves across the flower head during flowering. This description refers exclusively to the botanical appearance of the plant. The ground root of Wild Teasel is used as the plant ingredient for this tincture. The botanical and cultural description provides background information on Dipsacus fullonum and does not constitute a claim about the effects of this food supplement. Wild Teasel in botany and cultural history Wild Teasel has long been described in botanical, ethnobotanical and folkloric sources. Traditional uses of different teasel species form part of the historical context. Such descriptions are not equivalent to a scientifically substantiated or authorised health effect of this food supplement. The plant is also known from publications by Stephen Harrod Buhner and Wolf-Dieter Storl. These authors are mentioned solely for cultural and historical context. Disease-related statements from books or other external sources are not adopted for this product. The medieval doctrine of signatures also played a role in historical plant lore. Under this approach, the external appearance of a plant was interpreted symbolically and linked to possible uses. This historical concept is not evidence of properties or effects of a food and is mentioned here only as part of botanical and cultural history. What does it contain?

Wild Teasel Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) – made from ground root What is Wild Teasel? (Dipsacus fullonum) Although Wild Teasel has spiny flower heads that strongly resemble a thistle, it belongs to a different botanical family and is not related to true thistles. Its botanical name is associated with the Greek word “dipsa”, meaning “thirst”. Rainwater can collect in the funnel-shaped leaves of the plant. This distinctive feature is often linked to the origin of the name. The name “teasel” also has a medieval background. At that time, the dried flower heads were used to comb wool. This process helped shape the traditional name of the plant. The plant can grow up to two metres tall and is found in many parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa. In its first year it forms a rosette of leaves; in the second year it develops a spiny stem with upright flower heads that can reach up to 8 centimetres in length. The small purple flowers do not open at the same time, but in succession, often creating a ring-shaped flowering pattern that moves across the flower head. Teasel roots that meet our internal quality requirements are used for production. The focus is on the selection and processing of the botanical raw material and on clear information about composition and use. Wild Teasel in Traditional Sources Wild Teasel is described in various botanical, historical and ethnobotanical sources. The root has also been known for a long time in Asian plant traditions. These cultural and historical references provide context for the plant and do not constitute a statement about any health effect of this food supplement. In the historical doctrine of signatures, the appearance of plants was interpreted symbolically. The striking ring-shaped flowering pattern of teasel was also considered in such systems. This historical concept is not scientific proof of efficacy and is not used here as a health claim. Wild Teasel is also discussed in ethnobotanical literature, including works by Wolf-Dieter Storl. References of this kind document the cultural and historical context of the plant; they do not establish a specific effect of the product offered here.

Wilde Karde Tabletten, 300 mg Karden-Wurzelpulver Tablettengröße: 16 mm × 8 mmKarden-Wurzelpulver pro Tablette: 300 mg Wilde Karde Presslinge aus der gemahlenen Wurzel Was ist die Wilde Karde? (Dipsacus fullonum) Obwohl die Wilde Karde mit ihren stacheligen Blütenständen stark an eine Distel erinnert, zählt sie botanisch nicht zu den Disteln, sondern zu einer anderen Pflanzenfamilie. Ihr botanischer Name wird häufig mit dem griechischen Wort „dipsa“ in Verbindung gebracht, das übersetzt „Durst“ bedeutet. Bei Regen kann sich Niederschlag in den trichterförmigen Blattansätzen sammeln und dort eine Zeit lang verbleiben. Diese besondere Blattform gehört zu den auffälligen botanischen Merkmalen der Wilden Karde und kann auch Tieren als kleine Wasserstelle dienen. Auch der Name „Wilde Karde“ ist eng mit einer mittelalterlichen Tradition verbunden. Zur damaligen Zeit wurden die Blütenköpfe geerntet, getrocknet und zum Kämmen beziehungsweise Aufrauen von Wolle genutzt, damit diese anschließend weiterverarbeitet und gesponnen werden konnte. Diesen handwerklichen Vorgang bezeichnete man als „Karden“. Die bis zu zwei Meter hohe Staude ist in vielen Teilen Europas, Asiens und Nordafrikas zu finden. Die zweijährige Pflanze bildet in ihrem ersten Lebensjahr zunächst eine Blattrosette aus. Im Folgejahr wächst der stachelige Stängel, der die aufrechten Blütenstände trägt. Diese Blütenstände können eine Länge von bis zu 8 Zentimetern erreichen. Auf den ersten Blick wirkt die Blüte eher zurückhaltend, denn die kleinen violetten Einzelblüten öffnen sich nicht gleichzeitig. Vielmehr blühen sie abschnittsweise und bilden dabei einen ringförmigen Verlauf über den gesamten Blütenstand. Dieser wandernde Blütenring ist ein charakteristisches Erscheinungsbild der Wilden Karde. Bei der Auswahl und Verarbeitung der Karde-Wurzeln achten wir darauf, dass die Rohstoffe den für das Produkt festgelegten Qualitätsanforderungen entsprechen. Die botanischen Angaben dienen ausschließlich der Beschreibung und Einordnung der Pflanze. Sie sind nicht als Aussage über eine Wirkung des Produktes zu verstehen. Die Wilde Karde in der Pflanzenkunde In der traditionellen chinesischen Pflanzenkunde wird die Wilde Karde seit langer Zeit beschrieben. Die dort verwendeten Begriffe und Zuordnungen stammen aus historischen Lehrsystemen. Solche Pflanzenlehren arbeiten mit eigenen bildhaften Kategorien und Funktionsmodellen, die sich nicht ohne Weiteres in moderne Aussagen über Ernährung oder Körperfunktionen übertragen lassen. Sie dienen hier ausschließlich der kulturhistorischen Einordnung. Dieses Produkt wird sachlich als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel mit gemahlener Kardenwurzel angeboten; aus traditionellen Beschreibungen werden keine Produktwirkungen abgeleitet.

Auch historische Signaturenlehren stellten Bezüge zwischen dem Erscheinungsbild einer Pflanze und ihrer damaligen Verwendung her. Solche Überlieferungen sind kulturgeschichtliche Darstellungen und kein Nachweis einer Wirkung. Sie werden daher nicht als Empfehlung für die Verwendung dieses Produktes herangezogen.

Wild Teasel Powder Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) Powder Made from the Roots What Is Wild Teasel? With its prickly flower heads, wild teasel resembles a thistle, but botanically it belongs to a different plant family. Its botanical name is associated with the Greek word "dipsa", meaning "thirst". A characteristic feature is the pair of joined, funnel-shaped leaves in which rainwater can collect. This distinctive leaf shape contributes to the plant's striking appearance and explains the linguistic connection with thirst. The name "teasel" is also associated with a medieval tradition. At that time, the flower heads were harvested and dried, then used to comb wool before it was spun. This process became closely linked with the name of the plant and remains part of its cultural history. The plant can grow up to two metres tall and is found in many parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa. During its first year, the biennial plant forms a rosette of leaves. In the second year, the prickly stem grows and carries the upright flower heads, which can reach a length of up to 8 centimetres. The tiny violet-coloured individual flowers do not open at the same time. Instead, they open successively in a circular pattern, creating a moving ring around the flower head. This is one of the characteristic botanical features of wild teasel. Teasel roots are selected and carefully processed for the powder. We follow our internal quality specifications during selection and processing. The product description focuses on the plant species, the part of the plant used and the practical powdered form. Wild Teasel in Botanical Tradition Wild teasel is mentioned in various European and Asian herbal traditions. Historical texts and traditional plant systems use their own culturally specific terms to classify plants. These descriptions form part of botanical and cultural history. For the present product description, the focus is instead on factual information about the plant species, the plant part used and the form of presentation. In the medieval doctrine of signatures, the appearance of plants was also interpreted symbolically. Shape, colour or growth pattern were thought to provide clues about possible uses. This historical perspective is included here only as cultural background and is not intended as a statement about the properties of the product. The focus is therefore on the botanical name Dipsacus fullonum, the use of the root and the finely ground form. The powder presents the finely ground root of this traditional plant in a practical format. The emphasis remains on botanical and product-related characteristics. The finely ground form makes the plant material straightforward to handle, while the clear presentation supports easy product identification. What Does It Contain? The root of Dipsacus fullonum is described as containing plant constituents including bitter compounds, saponins and phenols. These groups of substances are mentioned solely as factual information about the plant and do not constitute any further functional claim.
