Application

Spring – Brownroot has not been particularly used as a medicinal plant. It came here with the monks and has been cultivated in monastery gardens around the country. From here it has strayed into the wild. Spring – Brownroot is still a rare plant in Danish nature.

Spring – Burdock root has mainly been used externally to treat bruises and sprains, eczema, wounds, and boils.
