~Burdock ~

Arctium lappa

A common weed, found wild in various parts of Asia and Europe. This plant has powerful cleansing and purifying properties.

The root is harvested for medicinal purposes and can used internally for the treatment of:

• Chronic skin disorders
• Wound healing
• Dandruff
• Eczema
• Acne

On top of the blood purifying aspects of Burdock, it can also be used as a prebiotic drink by infusing it in hot water over a period of 3-4 days. After a significant amount of time soaking in the pot, the root will begin to release inulin, which a potent prebiotic fibre. Use the water of the tea to mix in with a blend of your preferred dried herbs to make a delightfully delicious, gut-rehabilitating tonic.
