I am translating a horrible text on homeopathy and plants used within the field. The problem I am stuck on it the description of burdock as being a 'herbe aux teigneux':
Do these vernacular names even exist in English?
Thanks for your help!!

Looking for meanings of 'teigneux' in FR monolingual resources, I learnt that in addition to the common, colloquial meaning (with which I was already familiar), it also has a medical meaning of 'someone with ringworm'.
Searching for "burdock" + "ringworm", the reference I have posted appeared on the first page of results.
