FAQ
Wild teasel tincture is a natural herbal preparation made from wild teasel root (Dipsacus fullonum, radix) using the traditional method of cold maceration. This method helps retain a broad range of naturally occurring compounds found in the root.
We use a carefully chosen alcohol strength suited to the properties of wild teasel root. Whether we use fresh root or finely ground dried root, preparing it this way increases contact between the plant material and the alcohol, helping the compounds pass into the tincture.
We grow wild teasel root on our herbal farm, tending the plants organically and with plenty of hands-on care. We harvest at the right time, following the plant’s natural rhythm and treating each one with respect.

Wild teasel (Dipsacus fullonum)
Wild teasel is a tall, upright plant, easily recognised by its prickly flower heads. It often grows along paths, in meadows and near water, where its striking form can seem almost like a guardian of the landscape.
It belongs to the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae).
In herbal practice, we mainly use the root (radix), harvesting it when the plant’s growth is turning towards its underground parts.
One of wild teasel’s curious features is the way its leaves join around the stem, forming little cups that collect water. In the past, its dried flower heads were used in textile making to raise the nap of woollen cloth.
Wild teasel has a place in herbal traditions, often as part of a longer routine followed with attention to the body’s own rhythm and response.
Researchers are also studying the plant’s naturally occurring compounds. In our herbal practice, we approach wild teasel with respect for both this ongoing research and the knowledge passed down through generations.

- wild teasel is often included in longer herbal routines; freshly ground milk thistle seeds offer a way to add a second plant to the daily routine
Wild teasel tincture + Artichoke tincture

Is wild teasel used for Lyme disease?
Wild teasel is sometimes mentioned in herbal practice in connection with Lyme disease, usually as part of a broader approach to wellbeing. However, its effectiveness for Lyme disease has not been established. Wild teasel should not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.
Is Dipsacus asperoides the same plant as our wild teasel?
No. They are related but distinct species. Dipsacus asperoides comes from Asia and has a long history of use in herbal traditions there. Our wild teasel, Dipsacus fullonum, is a European species that also grows in Slovenia.
The two plants may look similar, but they differ in where they grow, their characteristics and their traditions of use. They should not be treated as interchangeable.
In our preparations, we use Dipsacus fullonum, which we grow ourselves. This lets us follow the plant from cultivation through to the finished product.
