Burdock root has been given the nickname “Queen of the Blood-Lymph Cleansers.” The key actions of burdock are that it is detoxifying, a mild diuretic, and that it has antibiotic (particularly from the fresh root) and antiseptic qualities. Additional research has shown burdock to have antifungal properties, and hypoglycemic effects (lowering blood sugar). The root helps the body to eliminate waste products in chronic skin and arthritic conditions. The root is about 45% inulin, an undigested starch that gut flora love to eat. A strong decoction of burdock can be used to help re-establish healthy, happy gut flora.
Please note: Do NOT throw away roots after one use, re-simmer them up to 3 times.
