Burdock acts as a depurative
in cases of Psoriasis
Burdock has an ancient and respected reputation as a nutritive liver tonic that helps to clean and build the blood, while its diuretic action of burdock helps in the elimination of waste materials. Taken internally, this root promotes sweating and urination. The roots, leaves, and seeds of burdock can all be used, but in commercial preparations, you'll most commonly find the root. Rich in minerals, this plant is used as a food by many cultures. Burdock helps to cleanse the body from the inside out and is most useful in those conditions that can be traced back to liver disorders or a general overload of toxins in the system.

Bur oil (burdock) for :Hair tonic, hair loss |
|
Burdock root oil extract (Bur oil) has traditionally been popular in Europe as a scalp treatment applied to improve hair strength, shine, and body, and to combat hair loss. It has been used to ease dandruff and scalp itching. Modern studies indicate that burdock root oil extract is rich in phytosterols and essential fatty acid required for healthy scalp and natural hair growth. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) |

Burdock extract for :Blood sugar and diabetes |
|
Burdock seeds are a valuable supplemental food for people with diabetes. An extract made from burdock has shown prolonged blood-sugar-lowering effects in animal tests. It works by filling the intestines with fiber, which prevents the absorption of sugars. Burdock fibers also prevent the absorption of toxic compounds from food. These fibers are digested in the intestine with the help of bacteria, but only after they have passed into the large intestine. Since absorption of most substances in the digestive tract occurs in the small intestine, this makes it less likely that toxic compounds will enter the body. Burdock's chromium content also helps regulate blood-sugar levels. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) |

Young burdock leaf stalks are a good addition to soups, but are bitter raw. The light-brown sturdy taproot may weigh up to 2 -4 pounds in a second year plant and is the part used in herbal medicine.

 Old-time North American herbalists particularly valued the seeds to treat skin problems, while in China the seeds are used to treat the eruptions of measles, sore throats, tonsillitis, colds, and flu.

 Venus challengeth this herb for her own; and by its seed or leaf, you may draw the womb which way you please, either upward by applying it to the crown of the head, in case it falls out, or downward in fits of the mother, by applying it to the soles of the feet; or, if you would stay it in its place, apply it to the navel, and that is likewise a good way to stay the child in it; the bur leaves are cooling, moderately drying, and discussing withal whereby they are good for old ulcers and sores. Nicholas Culpeper | |
