OTHER: This Teasel is popular for its unique look & beautiful flowers, its value to wildlife, & dried for arrangements.
Teasel plants have prickly leaves, & large elongated thistle-type flower heads that contain hundreds of tiny blooms. The flower heads measure 2 – 4” long by 1 ½ - 2” across, & begin to bloom in the middle, working their way outwards. The flowers are pollinated by bees, attract butterflies, & birds love to eat their seeds in the fall. As is implied by the scientific name ‘Dipsacus’, these plants catch water at their leaf bases which is utilized by insects to drink, but this also prevents sap-sucking insects from being able to climb up the plant & harm it.
Teasels are able to grow in soil that is loose & sandy, or in heavy clays. They enjoy full sun, & are drought tolerant & maintenance free. In most settings they are best placed near the back of the garden as they can reach heights of 6’ tall.
The teasel makes a great long lasting fresh cut flower, but as was mentioned, they are most popular in dried floral arrangements. Simply clip the heads off & hang them upside down to dry, or allow them to dry on the plants before removing them. The dried heads are also used in other craft projects like making adorable little hedgehogs ‘n stuff :)
Fuller’s Teasel is a subspecies of the common teasel, supposedly grown by “fullers” in the wool industry giving it its common name. The spines on heads were used to card wool, although there is some debate as to which species was actually used for this purpose. A dye is also obtained from the plant, which is still used today. There are also traditional medicinal uses for this nifty selection.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
