Wild Crafted Burdock Root Powder ~ 100% Premium

Botanical name: Arctium Lappa

In many parts of the world, burdock is treated as an invasive weed. It is particularly problematic to sheep herders because the value of wool is downgraded when sheep become tangled with burdock burrs. In addition, dairy cows who habitually graze on the plant may start to produce sour milk.

Burdock root is harvested as a vegetable in Japan and was once used to provide bitter flavor to European beers. The dried, chopped root can be used in tea blends or toss into simmering soups or braised foods. An infusion of the root, applied as a poultice to the soles of the feet, is a Medieval remedy for “hysterical disorders.” The root is also traditionally decocted for use as a skin wash or is macerated in oil to use as a base in shampoos and hair conditioners.

Tastes mildly sweet.
