Holy Thistle (Blessed Thistle)

Called the "reverse everything" herb by the old wives of many a port town, Holy Thistle was carried aboard for the crew's guts as much as their spirits. A prickly, silver-leafed plant, blessed by tradition and bitter as the sea itself.

Traditional use: Blessed Thistle (Cnicus benedictus) is traditionally used in folk herbalism to stimulate appetite and support digestion, and has long been used by nursing mothers to support milk production.

How it's brewed: boil the dried herb in spring water, strain and drink.

Ship's Terms: Shipments within the U.K sail via Royal Mail Tracked 48. Shipments beyond our shores sail via Royal Mail® International Tracked, 3-6 days to port. Take heed: this crew sails from the U.K. Any cargo bound for foreign shores may be boarded by customs and charged duties or taxes on arrival — that toll be yours to pay, not ours. Chart your own country's import rules via the Department for International Trade before ye order. On overcharges: should your bank statement show a sum heavier than the price at the till, know this be no trickery — the Pound often outweighs the Dollar and other currencies, so what lands on your statement may run higher than what you saw at checkout. Our thanks for your understanding, shipmate. Every delivery must be signed for upon arrival. No refunds be given once the goods have set sail.
