Burdock root comes from the Arctium lappa plant. People use it as a vegetable and in herbal remedies. It helps digestion, clears skin, and aids the body's natural detox.
You can take burdock as tea, in food, or as a capsule or extract. Take it with meals. If you are pregnant or nursing, avoid medicinal amounts. Those with allergies to daisies, ragweed, or similar plants should be careful.
