Burdock Root, Cut & Sifted 1 lb.
A staple, apothecary-grade root made with organic burdock (Arctium lappa), cut and sifted for traditional whole-herb preparations. When brewed, it offers a rich, earthy, root-forward infusion with woody undertones, subtle mineral sweetness, and a grounding, clean finish.

🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Burdock root has been used for centuries across multiple traditional healing systems:
-
Traditional Chinese Medicine: called Niu Bang Gen, used as a cooling and blood-nourishing root to support liver balance, clear internal heat, encourage lymphatic movement, and promote healthy, clear skin. Frequently prepared in long-simmered decoctions and tonic teas.
-
Ayurveda: valued as a Pitta-balancing and cleansing root, traditionally used to support digestion, purify the blood, and reduce occasional inflammation.
-
Western herbalism: used in traditional apothecaries to support skin conditions, kidney wellness, circulation, digestive ease, and lymphatic flow. A key ingredient in seasonal cleansing and detox blends.
-
Indigenous and global folk herbal traditions: brewed or simmered to support joint comfort, skin clarity, digestion, seasonal cleansing, immunity, and overall vitality.
In historical apothecaries, burdock root was a foundational detoxifying tonic, skin-supportive infusion, and seasonal cleansing root tea or extract.
