A potent, adaptive folk medicine to support immunity, resilience, and repair.
Bidens pilosa, also known as Spanish Needle or Cobbler’s Pegs, is a common weed across Australia — but as with many so-called weeds, it is rich in medicine. Weeds arise where the land is out of balance, and so too does their medicine aid with the imbalances within us. As above, so below. The outer terrain of the land, and the inner terrain of our bodies is mirrored.
Bidens is a versatile immune ally, offering strong support when the body is under threat from bacterial, viral, or tick-borne pathogens.
With a long folkloric use among tribal and village cultures in the Indian subcontinent and beyond, Bidens is a classic “every-person” medicine — accessible, adaptable, and protective. It may be particularly supportive for post-tick bite recovery, chronic immune load, rebuilding the mucosal lining of the lungs & gut, or when the system is in need of a sharp boost in defence and resilience.
This is a humble but mighty plant — one that grows where it's needed, and offers strength when the body calls for reinforcements.
Store in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight, heat, and air exposure.
