Blessed Thistle Herb, Cut & Sifted, Organic 1 lb
100% organic blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus), thoughtfully cut and sifted for traditional herbal preparations, infusions, tinctures, and botanical formulations. It offers a bold, herbaceous, slightly bitter profile with earthy green undertones and a dry, grounding finish—the signature of whole-plant tonic herbs used in classical herbalism.
🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Blessed thistle has been honored for centuries in traditional herbal medicine systems, including:
-
European & Medieval herbal traditions: historically called a “blessed” tonic herb, commonly used to support digestive discomfort, liver and gallbladder balance, appetite stimulation, and seasonal wellness.
-
Traditional Western herbalism: used in infusions, decoctions, and tinctures to support lactation, stomach ease, circulation, immune strength, and general vitality during times of physical depletion.
-
Bitters & tonic preparations: traditionally formulated to support digestion, reduce occasional bloating, promote appetite, and assist the body in processing heavier meals.
-
Folk seasonal use: frequently brewed during colder months to support immunity, energy, and recovery from fatigue or nutrient depletion.
This herb was especially valued in historical apothecaries as part of bitters formulas and women’s wellness blends, including postpartum and lactation-supportive preparations.
