Carline Thistle root

The carline thistle resembles a golden disk in the middle of the meadows. It’s a thorny plant, similar to a thistle, of the Compositae family, which grows almost at ground level, with a short stem (less than 20 cm high). The flower head is formed by 100-odd small flowers, dark yellow, which grows on a flat disc some 10 cm in diameter. The leaves are radial and thorny.

For several centuries, physicians and pharmacologists smiled at the claims of Andres de Laguna. How could it prevent or heal the plague, an infectious disease caused by a micro-organism, by using a plant? But, in a historic turnaround, carline thistle was shown to contain an antibiotic substance, carlinoside. Today, research is being conducted on the antibiotic effects of this substance and its application.
