Burdock root as an herbal remedy offers a variety of health
benefits. This herb has been known for its healing properties for many
centuries and was commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat
numerous illnesses.
The burdock is a plant found in the continents of Europe and
Asia. It is easy to find and identify, as it generally grows along fences and
roads. In Asia, the taproot of young burdock plant is harvested and eaten as a
root vegetable. It has a gummy consistency and is sweet to the taste. It is
rich in calcium, chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, iron, inulin, lactone, mucilage,
polyacetylenes, potassium, resin, tannin, and taraxosterol.
In folk medicine, the seeds of the burdock were compressed to
make a mixture that provided relief for measles, arthritis, tonsillitis, throat
pain, and viruses like the common cold. Burdock root can also be used to treat
gout, rheumatism, ulcers, acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Folk herbalists use it
to treat snake bites and those that are afflicted with rabies. They also used
dried burdock as a diuretic, diaphoretic, and a blood purifying agent. It
purifies the blood by getting rid of dangerous toxins.
The burdock root oil extract, or Bur oil, is used in Europe as a
scalp treatment to help treat dandruff and prevent hair loss. Since the burdock
oil is rich in phytosterols and essential fatty acids, it is also said to
improve hair strength, shine, and body by helping maintain a healthy scalp and
promote hair growth. It combines an immediate relieving effect with nutritional
support for normal functions of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.
The leaves of the burdock can be used for pain management and to
help speed up recovery time in burn patients. It is said to impede bacterial
growth and acts as a barrier against moisture.
Today, burdock root is used in oncology for its cancer-curing
properties, particularly in Russia and India. Many herbalists say burdock root
can stop cancer cells from metastasizing. Preliminary research has demonstrated
that burdock root has certain protective properties that may explain its cancer
benefits. ((NaturalNews)
