Wild Teasel Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) tincture – made from the ground root What is Wild Teasel? (Dipsacus fullonum) Although wild teasel, with its spiny flower heads, strongly resembles a thistle, botanically it belongs to a completely different plant family. Its name comes from the Greek word “dipsa,” meaning “thirst.” Wild teasel can indeed quench the thirst of animals and humans by collecting rainwater in its funnel-shaped leaves and carefully storing it. The name “wild teasel” has medieval origins. At that time, the dried flower heads were harvested and used for combing wool, a process known as “carding.” This biennial plant can grow up to two meters high and is found throughout Europe, Asia, and North Africa. In its first year, it forms a rosette of leaves, and in the second year, a spiny stem with upright flower heads up to 8 cm long. The tiny violet flowers do not bloom all at once but rather in circular patterns, reminiscent of ring-shaped skin rashes. We place great importance on sustainability and use only teasel roots that meet our strict quality standards to support both human health and the environment. Wild Teasel and Folk Medicine In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), wild teasel root has been successfully used for over 2,000 years. Practitioners classify the root as cooling and associate it with the liver and kidney meridians. This cooling property is believed to help dispel heat from the body and address underlying imbalances. As a result, wild teasel is traditionally used to support the immune system and to treat skin-related concerns. According to TCM, teasel is also valued for dispelling “wind, cold, and dampness,” which are thought to contribute to joint discomfort. Experienced practitioners recommend teasel to help relieve such issues. Furthermore, ethnobotanist Dr. Wolf-Dieter Storl has noted its potential supportive role in Lyme disease. In medieval Europe, the so-called “doctrine of signatures” suggested that the appearance of a plant could reveal its medicinal uses. Interestingly, the circular blooming pattern of teasel flowers resembles the ring-shaped rash associated with Lyme disease. What’s inside? Not all valuable compounds of wild teasel have been fully researched. However, it is now known that the plant contains: Bitter compounds – stimulate the production of digestive juices Saponins – considered anti-inflammatory, supportive of the immune system, and protective of the cardiovascular system Phenols – highly effective antioxidants that may slow the aging process and help reduce inflammation Wild Teasel Glycerin Tincture without harmful additives This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavorings, no added sugar, no lactose, and no gluten.

Its botanical name comes from the Greek word “dipsa,” meaning “thirst.” Wild teasel can actually quench the thirst of animals and humans by collecting rainwater in its funnel-shaped leaves and carefully storing it for wildlife and travelers alike. The name “wild teasel” also has medieval origins. At that time, the dried flower heads were harvested and used to comb wool before spinning – a process known as “carding.” This biennial plant can reach a height of up to two meters and is found in many parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. In its first year, it produces only a rosette of leaves. In the second year, a spiny stem emerges, bearing upright flower heads that can reach up to 8 cm in length. At first glance, the blooms may appear unimpressive, as the tiny violet flowers never open all at once. Instead, they bloom in circular patterns, creating a moving ring across the flower head – reminiscent of migrating circular skin patterns in humans.

With its spiny flower heads, wild teasel may resemble a thistle, but botanically it belongs to a completely different plant family. Its botanical name is derived from the Greek word “dipsa,” meaning “thirst.” Indeed, wild teasel can quench the thirst of animals and humans by collecting rainwater in the funnel-shaped base of its leaves and storing it carefully.
