Burdock
Overview
Improve your respiratory, digestive and immune systems with the blood-purifying compounds in Burdock.
The Chinese have promoted burdock as a healthy, nutritive food source whose dried roots were used especially as a food source throughout the winter.
Burdock root, renowned for its prebiotic fiber and beneficial phytochemicals, is widely valued in traditional medicine for promoting a healthy inflammatory response and stimulating urine flow to facilitate detoxification.
Burdock’s use has spanned ages and continents, as traditional practitioners in China, India, Europe and North America have prescribed it for respiratory, digestive and circulatory system support.
Burdock is a common weed with giant leaves and seeds (burrs) that cling tenaciously to clothing.
Benefits
- Supports digestive system function
- Provides liver protection
- Supports detox and circulation
- Supports the immune system
How It Works
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), compounds in burdock help detoxify the blood and promote healthy circulation, especially to the skin surface.
Burdock also helps protect the liver against toxins and may improve the health of the skin. Many studies have associated skin problems with intestinal toxicity and poor gut health.
In addition, burdock has been traditionally used in herbal medicine to support the digestive system.
Burdock contains bitter compounds that promote the secretion of digestive fluids and may help improve appetite.
Burdock may even help maintain healthy blood sugar levels already in the normal range.
Burdock root is a rich source of inulin, a non-digestible dietary fiber that stimulates the growth and activity of beneficial intestinal bacteria.
The inulin in burdock root promotes a balanced gut microbiome, which is vital for efficient digestion, helping to reduce bloating and improve nutrient absorption.
Inulin appears to have liver-protecting effects as well.
