Spanish Needle Herb Whole (Bidens Pilosa)

Spanish Needle Herb Whole (Bidens pilosa) is a slender, leafy green herb traditionally used in both folk and clinical herbal medicine for its cooling, detoxifying, and immune-supportive properties. Recognized by its fine, bristled seeds and delicate leaves, this plant has a long history of use across Asia, Africa, and the Americas as a remedy for inflammation, infections, and digestive issues.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spanish Needle is used to clear heat and toxins, support healthy liver function, and cool the blood, making it useful for conditions involving skin eruptions, sore throat, or internal heat with dampness. It is also sometimes used to assist with intestinal inflammation or dysentery, particularly when paired with other cooling, bitter herbs.

In broader herbal practice, Bidens pilosa is known for its broad antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-regulating actions. It has been studied for its potential in supporting gut integrity, modulating the immune system, and reducing microbial overgrowth in the digestive and urinary tracts. It's also been used topically for minor wounds or skin irritation.

When simmered or infused, Spanish Needle Herb Whole yields a mildly bitter, grassy tea, often combined with herbs like dandelion, honeysuckle, or andrographis in detox or immune-supporting formulas.

Each batch of Spanish Needle Herb Whole (Bidens pilosa) is harvested and dried with care to preserve its vibrant green quality, natural compounds, and traditional energetic profile. Whether used in cleansing teas, liver support decoctions, or topical herbal washes, this herb offers a versatile, time-tested approach to cooling inflammation, purifying the system, and restoring internal balance.
