Tribulus terrestris is a hardy plant native to arid regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and northern Australia. It thrives in disturbed soils and is considered aggressive and invasive in certain areas. Tribulus is easily recognized by its sharp, spiny fruit, notorious for puncturing bike tires and shoes. This distinctive feature has earned it various common names, including puncture vine, devil’s thorn, and goat’s head.
Tribulus has been valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, where it is known as gokshura, for its wellness-supporting properties. The dried fruit can be used to make herbal tea or tinctures.
Tribulus belongs to the Zygophyllaceae family and is also referred to as puncturevine caltrop or small caltrops.
