Burdock Root

The root of the burdock plant has been harvested for many centuries for its potent medicinal qualities, which range from soothing the kidneys and helping constipation to acting as a detoxifier and helping with fluid retention. It's a popular botanical ingredient too, thanks to the popular dandelion and burdock drink.

Contains soluble and prebiotic fibre - inulin, which can help to improve digestive issues. It also contains the healing mucilage, which can protect the mucous membrane layer of the stomach and aid healing if it's troubled by over-acidity or inflammation.

Burdock root also has an impact on the blood and circulatory systems, which makes it a good choice for skincare - it helps to promote supple, youthful skin. The root is also a rich source of plant chemicals, which boast anti-fungal and antibiotic properties. Burdock root is a known detoxifier and works by removing harmful toxins from the body to help keep skin clear – it's also a natural blood purifier, so it can help those with eczema as well. The powdered root of the burdock plant can be made into an infusion and added to skin creams and lotions.

Used in a well-known drink – dandelion & burdock. It can also be used in root beers, cordials and to make burdock tea.
