About Burdock Root

Burdock root has been widely used in traditional herbal medicine as a diuretic and diaphoretic, meaning it has been used to support urine flow and gentle sweating, both associated with cleansing practices.

Traditionally, burdock root has been included in herbal preparations intended to purify the blood, support liver and kidney function, and improve skin conditions. It is often used daily over time as part of longer-term wellness and seasonal cleansing routines rather than for acute situations.

Burdock root is also used in both Western herbalism and traditional Asian food cultures, reflecting its role as both nourishment and medicine.

How to Brew

• Decoction (recommended): Simmer 1–2 tsp per cup of water for 20–30 minutes

• Strain and enjoy warm
