Harvested in the heart of the North Woods, dried scotch thistle blossoms. These were rinsed with an ice bath prior to dehydration so they will be ready to use right from the package. These can be used for crafting (adorable fairy garden additions) or they can be crushed and added to your favorite loose leaf style of teas. Here are some of the benefits of scotch thistle:

The flowering plant is cardiotonic and is used in some proprietary heart medicines.

The juice of the plant has been used with good effect in the treatment of cancers and ulcers.

Thistle plants are used to treat various diseases such as arthritis, asthma, diabetes, gout, kidney stones, liver problems, rheumatism, and ulcers.

Thistle plants are also used to prevent hair loss, and in some parts of the world, as an aphrodisiac.

This in no way means that you should use this plant to replace medications. It does however provide fantastic health benefits. Do your research, find your own path.

Each lot has 25 whole dried blossoms.
