BURDOCK ROOTS

Burdock root is the edible root of the Arctium plant, widely used in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western herbalism. Known for its powerful detoxifying properties, it has long been valued for purifying the blood and supporting liver function. Rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and phenolic acids, burdock helps protect the body from oxidative stress and inflammation. It is also popular for promoting healthy skin, traditionally used to relieve conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Thanks to its high inulin content, burdock root acts as a natural prebiotic, supporting digestion and gut health. In culinary use, especially in Japanese cuisine where it is called gobo, it is enjoyed in soups, stir-fries, and stews for its earthy flavor and crisp texture. It can be consumed fresh, dried (as tea or powder), or in supplement form, depending on the intended use. With its wide range of health benefits, burdock root remains a versatile and time-tested botanical for internal cleansing, immune support, and digestive wellness.
