“(As a remedy for psoriasis, pityriasis or leprosy) Take the leaves of burdock, pound them well with a little wine and strain. Take three spoonfuls, night, morning and noon, and let a decoction of burdock be your only drink. The part should be fomented with the decoction also, a shot as you can bear it, and anoint it afterwards with an unguent composed of wine, olive oil and honey.”
Welsh Physicians of Myddvai, 1861
