The Kardenwelt in Allgäu: A Family Business with Heart and Mind

We love a plant, the wild teasel.
It all started in 2007 with literature, including from ethnobotanist Wolf-Dieter Storl. First, we discovered the role the wild teasel has played for centuries in folk medicine. Then we were hooked and knew: The wild teasel is exactly our thing. Also because we owed it a lot due to three Lyme disease cases in the family.

To make it your thing too, we see ourselves as ambassadors of this wonderful plant. For this, we produce tinctures, powders, and capsules as well as tea and balm as Kardenwelt. All from the wild teasel, all under the motto "Live more." And all naturally in organic quality.

  • We are specialized in the wild teasel and put a lot of passion into our work every day. You can feel that.
  • Our communication is transparent and honest – because it matters to us that you understand and trust us.
  • Our products are high quality – because we want to convince you. Again and again.

"We" are, by the way, the Schöfer family from Bergatreute and Leutkirch in Allgäu. In short: Brigitte and Jan Schöfer, three children, two cats, one dog. Grandparents and some other helpers.
And everyone works motivated – with heart and mind.

Kardenwelt: Premium Quality from the Allgäu

This is what quality means to us:

  • Especially a lot of product in the product. We produce according to Storl (ratio 1:1) so that you get a lot of Wild Teasel.
  • Collaboration with certified organic farmers. This ensures that the plants are free from contaminants, for example. This of course also applies to our own cultivation areas.
  • Work as a manufactory: Almost the entire process from cultivation to the finished product is done gently by hand. This preserves the valuable ingredients of the plants as best as possible.
  • Genuine advice. So that you can find the ideal product for yourself.

Obviously clear: The carding world is organic

But what does an official organic certification mean?

  • Annual inspections. Both announced and unannounced
  • Minimizing contamination: all cultivation areas are free from pesticide residues
  • Safe for humans and animals: No use of chemical fertilizers or protective agents
  • Sustainable cultivation: Crop rotation on the cultivation areas preserves nutrients in the soil
  • Safe production: In addition to the organic teasel, all other production materials are also certified

"A good consultation builds trust"

Just give us a call if you are unsure. You will always speak with a family member who has the appropriate experience, so no call center.
Whether it's about the correct dosage or more information about the product. If you don't even know yet whether or how you can use the wild teasel. For questions about your invoice or an order. And of course for all other topics. The world of teasels is – almost – always there for you.

You know: Our communication is transparent and honest – because it is important to us that you understand us and trust us.
