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 botanical name comes from the Greek word “dipsa,” meaning “thirst.” Wild teasel is able to quench the thirst of animals and humans alike by collecting rainwater in its funnel-shaped leaves and storing it for later use.

The name “wild teasel” also originates from medieval times, when the dried flower heads were harvested and used for combing wool before spinning. This process was known as “carding.”

The plant, which can grow up to two meters tall, is native to many parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. As a biennial, it produces a rosette of leaves in its first year, followed in the second year by a spiny stem carrying upright flower heads up to 8 cm long. The tiny purple flowers never bloom all at once, but instead open in circular bands, creating a moving ring across the flower head – reminiscent of circular skin patterns in humans.

We care deeply about both human health and the environment. That’s why we emphasize sustainability and use only teasel roots that meet our high quality standards.

Wild Teasel and Folk Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), wild teasel has been successfully used for more than 2,000 years. According to experienced physicians and healers, the roots are considered cooling and are associated with the liver and kidney meridians. This cooling property is used to expel heat from the body and address underlying causes. For this reason, teasel is employed to support the immune system and to address skin conditions. According to TCM, teasel also helps dispel “wind, cold, and dampness,” which are thought to cause painful joints. Teasel is said to provide relief in such cases. It is also believed to influence Qi, the vital life energy, by harmonizing digestive juices.

According to ethnobotanist Dr. Wolf-Dieter Storl, wild teasel is not only a medicinal plant but even a “magical” plant, believed to have potential benefits for Lyme disease. In the Middle Ages, people relied on the doctrine of signatures, which held that a plant’s appearance could indicate its use. The circular blooming pattern of teasel flowers was thought to resemble the characteristic skin rash associated with Lyme disease.

What’s inside?

Not all of the valuable compounds in wild teasel have been fully identified. However, it is known that the plant contains bitter substances, saponins, and phenols. Bitter substances stimulate digestive secretions. Saponins help soothe inflammation, strengthen the immune system, and support the cardiovascular system. Phenols are considered powerful antioxidants that may slow the aging process and help keep inflammation in check.
