Herbal

Bunias is a biennial plant, measuring up to 120 cm. It flowers in May and June, and grows near lucerne fields and along the roads all over Europe.

Prinzing used the seeds of the Norwegian stock of the plant in homeopathic potencies. His attention was drawn towards this plant after learning that a doctor in the North was using Bunias to treat cancerous subjects with interesting results.
