===== Magical Uses =====
Cast around the home to ward off negativity. Add to protection incenses and use in such spells. Gather burdock roots in the waning Moon, dry and then cut them into small pieces. String these on red thread (like beads) and wear for protection against evil and negativity.
The leaves of the burdock, when laid to the soles of the feet, help to cure gout.
