Butterbur Root Cut - 100G

Butterbur Root Cut (Petasites hybridus) is a robust, earthy root supplied in dried, cut form for traditional herbal preparations. It is most often prepared as a simmered decoction or used in tincture-making. The flavour is mildly bitter and earthy, and the cut pieces make it easy to measure, simmer, and strain.
