Cryptolepis, Wormwood, and Wild Cardoon: Buy combined tinctures as monthly treatments - 50 ml / 100 ml

Three plants, one concept: Our herbal blend combines carefully selected ingredients from Cryptolepis root (Cryptolepis sanguinolenta), aromatic wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), and wild teasel (Dipsacus fullonum). This combination is based on modern ethnobotanical approaches as well as insights from contemporary herbal literature, in which these plants are frequently mentioned together. Processed in our Austrian facility with extensive experience, the result is a natural product that stands for botanical diversity, herbal substance, and responsible production—ideal for anyone who relies on time-tested formulas and the power of selected plants.

Cryptolepis, Wormwood, and Wild Teasel—A Portrait of the Plant

Botanical names:
Cryptolepis (Cryptolepis sanguinolenta), Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum).

Common names:

Cryptolepis: Nibima, Ghanaian Quinine, Yellow-dye root
Wormwood: Absinthe, Bitter Mugwort, Wormwood Herb
Wild Teasel: Weaver’s Teasel, Teasel Thistle, Fuller’s Teasel

Brief description of the plant:
The three plants in this blend come from different botanical families and cultural regions—ranging from West African shrubs to European bitter herbs and wild plants. Cryptolepis (Family: Apocynaceae) is a climbing shrub with narrow leaves and a distinctive yellow-orange root, from which a strong sap oozes when cut. Wormwood (Family: Asteraceae) is a perennial, silvery-green herb with aromatic leaves and small yellow flower heads that has been cultivated in Europe for centuries. Wild teasel (Family: Caprifoliaceae) is a biennial wild plant with spiny leaves, towering stems, and characteristic, egg-shaped flower heads that were once used in textile processing. What they have in common is their robustness, adaptability, and the production of characteristic secondary plant compounds—despite their very different growth habits and regions of origin.

Special features:
When cut, the root of Cryptolepis exudes a deep yellow-orange liquid that oozes out like ink—a rare botanical characteristic. Wormwood is known for its intense bitter taste and rich essential oil profile and is considered one of Europe’s classic bitter herbs. Wild teasel has extraordinary inflorescences with hard, hook-like tips that were historically used to roughen wool—a fascinating example of the connection between the plant world and traditional craftsmanship.

History and traditional significance of the Three Plants

All three plants have a long history in the traditional botany of various regions. Cryptolepis has been known in West Africa for centuries and is valued there for its distinctive root. Wormwood has an equally rich European tradition and can be found in historical herbals, monastery gardens, and old bitter recipes. Wild teasel is deeply rooted in European folk culture—both as a wild plant and as a crop used in textile processing. Together, these three plants represent global diversity, cultural and historical depth, and a long history of working with roots, leaves, and wild herbs.

Key ingredients

The plants used contain a wide variety of natural compounds. Relevant groups include:

Indoloquinoline alkaloids (e.g., cryptolepin in Cryptolepis)
Other alkaloids such as quindoline and hydroxycryptolepin
Tannins in the Cryptolepis root
Sesquiterpene lactones (bitter compounds such as absinthin in wormwood)
Essential oils (e.g., thujone within its natural range in wormwood)
Iridoids and saponins (e.g., in wild teasel)
Flavonoids and phenolic compounds

The content of these substances is subject to natural variations.

Our Borre duo: Cryptolepis & Wormwood & Wild Teasel by Sagrusan

Plant parts used:
For both of our tinctures, we use the roots of Cryptolepis and wild teasel, as well as the herb of wormwood.

Manufacturing instructions:
Our tinctures are carefully produced in our Austrian facility according to the alchemical principles of Paracelsus. This process allows us to extract a broad spectrum of the plants’ natural compounds.

Quality features:

Vegan and free from artificial additives.
Free of preservatives.
Free of artificial colors.
Bottled in high-quality amber glass bottles (50/100 ml) for optimal protection.

Why use an alcoholic extract?

The tincture concentrates soluble plant compounds and makes them available for a longer period of time. Alcohol serves as both an extractant and a preservative and has the major advantage of extracting water- and fat-soluble compounds from the plant. These, in turn, are absorbed quickly and directly through the mucous membranes—ideal even in cases of impaired absorption. An alcohol-free version often cannot extract this range of compounds in the same way.
