Cirsium hispanicum

Cirsium hispanicum, also known as the Iberian thistle, is a perennial plant species native to the Iberian Peninsula.

It has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, which have been attributed to the presence of sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoids.

The plant has been reported to have various health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving digestion, and supporting the immune system.

Cirsium hispanicum can be prepared as a tea, tincture, or infusion, although its herbal preparations and usage should be approached with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
