Burdock - Antioxidant Powerhouse
Burdock is a powerful root that has been used traditionally in Chinese medicine as a diuretic and fever reducer, but it has so many more amazing benefits than just that! It’s a great source of inulin - a prebiotic fiber that aids digestion & improves gut health. It contains flavonoids, phytochemicals, and is an antioxidant powerhouse! These protect the body from harmful free radicals, and can help reduce inflammation throughout the body. There are some compounds in Burdock that have been found to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. It also has potent inhibitory effects, which could actually inhibit certain types of cancer, and slow the growth of some cancers! This includes breast, ovarian, bladder, lymphoma, and pancreatic cancers. (More research is needed on this subject. Please do not replace cancer medications or treatment with Burdock without further research and consulting a healthcare professional). Burdock has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties which could protect against skin infections and promote skin healing, and may even help to reduce acne when taken orally. On top of everything else, it can also be used to fight the common cold, sore throat, and is known as a “blood purifier”, clearing the bloodstream of toxins and potentially preventing various types of infections! Who knew a root could be so incredibly healing?
