Habitat:     Burdock is native to Europe and Asia and has now spread worldwide in temperate zones. Its use in traditional Chinese, Korean, and European herbalism has developed independently in these different cultures. It was well-known to common people in Britain�the 17th century physician Nicholas Culpeper described several uses of burdock, including treating ulcers, sores, and even dog bites!
It is thought that the customary use of burdock by native peoples of Eastern North America may have actually been initiated by the early settlers from Europe, who brought the herb with them. Burdock naturalizes easily in new environments and becomes a weed in roadside ditches.

Plant Description:    Burdock is a biennial herbaceous plant that grows as tall as 150 cm (5 feet). The large leaves are spade-shaped. The wers resemble thistle flowers and come out of the top of the burrs, which attach themselves easily onto any passerby.
In Japan burdock is called goboand is grown as a vegetable; the freshly dug up roots are served as a stew, fried dish or salad. Whether for food or medicine, the root must be harvested by the end of the first year, after which it withers.

Plant Part/s Used Traditionally:    It is the dried root of burdock that has been most used as an herbal remedy in Chinese and European herbal practice; however, the Korean herbalists have long used the seeds of the plant.
