How It Works
-
Burdock root is a natural source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
Not Digested in the Small Intestine: Inulin passes through the upper digestive tract undigested, reaching the colon where it is fermented by gut bacteria.
Promotes Beneficial Bacteria Growth: Inulin feeds good bacteria, increasing their populations and contributing to a balanced gut microbiome.
Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production: When fermented by gut bacteria, inulin produces SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids) like acetate, propionate, and butyrate, which nourish colon cells, support regularity, and contribute to overall digestive health.
-
Burdock supports the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, and skin in their detoxification processes efficiently removing waste and toxins.
-
Burdock is a trusted remedy for chronic skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne. By aiding detoxification through the blood, lymphatic system, and extracellular fluids, burdock promotes clearer, healthier skin.
-
Burdock root contains compounds that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, offering additional support for overall health and wellness.
Rebecca’s Tips
Burdock is especially supportive following times of overindulgence - I like to take it for a month or so following the Winter Holidays when I feel as if I have had too much - too much rich food, too much alcohol (it is renowned for it’s liver support), too much socializing with too many people.
Burdock has been a beneficial ally for me during perimenopause- just as it clears the body’s pathways for elimination, energetically it aids me to release what I need to in this time of deep transformation - old patterns, old habits, old burdens, old beliefs that no longer serve me….
