Unearth the Wonders of this Hidden Gem
What is Burdock Root?
Burdock root (genus Arctium) is a genus of biennial plants in the Asteraceae (daisy) family that’s native to Northern Asia and Europe. It’s now found throughout the U.S. as well, where it grows as a weed. In Japan, it’s often called gobo root and cultivated as a vegetable. It consists primarily of carbohydrates, volatile oils, plant sterols, tannins and fatty oils.
Burdock root is not new to natural medicine. It has been used for thousands of years in Asia and Europe — and more recently in North America. It has anti-inflammatory effects and may benefit conditions like coughs, colds, gout, or hepatitis. It has also been used as a homeopathic treatment for skin conditions like acne or eczema3 and detoxification.
Usually, the root is made into a tea, but burdock fruit and seeds may also be used medicinally.
