Organic Burdock

Medicinal use: It has been used for centuries to aid digestion, heal skin, purify blood and cool internal heat. In much of Asia, burdock is eaten as a vegetable and it has an earthy, crunchy texture similar to lotus root. Studies show that burdock contains phenolic acids, quercetin, and luteolin, which are powerful antioxidants. 

Burdock also has a constituent called Arctiin which dampens inflammation and protects the skin from subclinical and chronic inflammation. Most interestingly, its anti-inflammatory action targets cells where inflammation is induced through sun exposure, which is directly responsible for the breakdown of collagen. Burdock stimulates connective tissue metabolism through collagen and hyaluronic synthesis to regenerate and build the skin structure. 

Warnings: The plant can affect the blood sugar level, so close monitoring (under medical supervision) must be carried out when treating people who are taking blood sugar regulation medications.

It is important to note that using the plant to treat skin diseases may cause a recovery crisis, which is manifested in the worsening of the symptoms.
