I am looking for burdock seeds.

Does anyone use burdock for homeopathic remedies to help with health issues?
I would love to hear from you.
I would like to know what you use it for?
I would like to know how you make your remedies?

I am looking to get some burdock seeds for postage...

I have these seeds:

Great Burdock, Edible Burdock, Cockle-Button, Beggar's Buttons (Arctium lappa) http://davesgarden.com/pdb/go/53500/index.html//

The leaves are Huge! we eat them as vegetables; I thought no one else would ever want them!
LOL!

This is another view:

I am learning how good burdock is for boils as we are having trouble with those within our family.

Do you use it personally? Is it bitter and do you use it in a specific way?

Thank you. I am busy today so I will check this forum out later on when I have time.

Ok I am back!

Can I send you postage for some of your burdock seeds?

Does the burdock leaves tend to get bitter when they get older?
Is there a special way that you cook them?
Do you know the health benefits they have? How long have you been eating them as a vegetable?
How do you prepare the burdock as a vegetable?

Ok Eddiegirl,

This is a place online that I found useful when I started into herbs.
This is an old text book, converted to web pages.
Please remember to always be careful and use common sense & caution when using herbs.

Burdock, Botanical: Arctium lappa (LINN.)

I always use the young leaves that get no bigger than 8 to 10 inches. Snip them off when the reach that size' it makes no difference to the plant, as it is very hardy. The leaves of that size are good to use, larger leaves tend to lose some thing in them. Older leaves tend to be more tougher to chew and stringy. To me they taste tangy, but I boil them like kale or other leafy vegetables, I like to put olive oil or butter them too. When I use them for salad, I cut them into strips, holding them into one bunch on the cutting board. They kind of remind me of mustard greens.
Everyone must decide for themselves how they taste, and if they prefer them or not.
I wait for the seedheads to get dry to colllect seeds; take a paper grocery bag, gloves & scissors out with me. Snip the seedheads off while holding the bag below. Believe me, they will stick to anything they can; even your dog if they get close enough! That's how they get all over the country!

Catnip is also good for humans too! It makes for a wonderful relaxing tea:

Excellent information. I think I heard that catnip could be made into tea. Have never tried it, have you? I will look in my herb book and see if I can find any information similar.
I will look up these links and learn, this is fine for now. Thanks so much I appreciate learning about plants. I have to keep the catnip under control otherwise it's growing all over my yard. Suppose it's not a real problem to anything. I gave a raw leaf to my cat and she didn't seem interested, was it suppose to be dried like you buy in the stores?
