Uses

Burdok root P.E is credited with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and an apparent ability to help regulate/normalize oil production. Traditionally used in the treatment of mild acne conditions. When applied externally as a compress, burdock leaves are considered highly effective for relieving bruises and inflammation. Burdock’s constituents include inulin, mucilage, sugar, a crystalline glucoside called lappin, fixed and volatile oils, and some tannic acid. extracts from the fruit (commonly though mistakenly referred to as the seeds) are also considered beneficial for treating chronic skin diseases. The dried root and root extract are the official therapeutic segments of burdock.
