Burdock Root has been used as both food and medicine for centuries. It contains a variety of nutrients, such as antioxidants and inulin, that are known to help with skin disorders, inflammation, digestion, and more. It acts as a diuretic and improves gut health.

Burdock Root’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties may help skin conditions such as wrinkling, acne, eczema, and psoriasis with topical application. The flavonoids and polyphenols may help slow tumor development as well as reduce pain experienced from some cancers. As with all herbs and spices, we recommend speaking with a medical professional before using Burdock Root. Burdock Root can have health implications due to its diuretic action, and may interact with medications. Furthermore, allergic reactions are a possibility, especially if you are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, or daisies.
