Burdock
Burdock root, native to Asia and Europe, is the primary source of many
herbal preparations. It as a popular root vegetable in Japanese markets
(called "gobo") and has been used for centuries as a staple in
traditional Chinese medicine for conditions like tonsillitis and
measles.
Historically, Burdock root has also been administered for
conditions such as gout, ulcers, arthritis, rheumatism, and various skin
disorders.
While studies have been limited to animals and in vitro,
the active constituents of burdock have shown anti-bacterial properties
making it useful for bacteria-related conditions such as acne, eczema, and
psoriasis. Additional test results have confirmed actions associated with
blood purification, toxic immunity, hypoglycemia, and inflammation.
Directions
Fresh drawn, boiling water contains the most oxygen, thereby giving the fullest taste to tea. Water that has been boiling for some time looses the oxygen and thereby the best taste.
Allow full expansion during the infusion and easy removal after the time for steeping has elapsed.
Draw into a tea pot or kettle the best fresh water that you have available.
Warm the teapot and cups while the water is boiling.
Cautions
Burdock usage can interfere with iron absorption.
