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

Sanfte Unterstützung in der Entgiftung
Ich mache gerade eine Ausleitungskur – die alkoholfreie Karde ergänzt das super. Keine Nebenwirkungen!
Meine Haut hat sich verbessert
Ich nehme die alkoholfreie Tinktur gegen meine immer wiederkehrenden Hautunreinheiten – seit etwa vier Wochen ist mein Hautbild deutlich klarer. Kein Vergleich zu vorher! Auch mein Schlaf ist tiefer geworden.
Endlich alkoholfrei – und trotzdem wirksam
Ich reagiere sehr empfindlich auf Alkohol, daher war diese alkoholfreie Variante ein Glücksgriff. Ich nutze sie begleitend zu meiner Kräutertherapie. Mein Immunsystem ist stabiler und ich habe mehr Energie. Die Tinktur ist mild, aber trotzdem wirkungsvoll. Ich nehme sie dreimal täglich in Wasser und vertrage sie hervorragend.
