BURDOCK ROOTWHOLE DRY HERB

Botanical Insights on Burdock:

Description: BURDOCK ROOT (Arctium lappa), commonly known as burdock, is a biennial plant within the Asteraceae family. Towering up to 9 feet (2.7 m), burdock boasts sizable, heart-shaped leaves that alternate, possess long petioles, and exhibit a downy texture on the underside. Its flowers, appearing in mid-summer from July to September, are vibrant purple and form clustered, globular capitula. These capitula are enveloped by an involucre composed of numerous bracts, each uniquely curved into a hook-like structure, facilitating long-distance transportation on the fur of animals. The fruits take the form of achenes, characterized by their elongated, compressed shape and short pappuses. The fleshy taproot of burdock can extend up to 3 feet (0.91 m) deep into the soil.

Common Names & Nomenclature: The term "burdock" originates from Middle English "burre," with roots in Scandinavian languages such as Danish "burre" and Swedish "borre." This references the burr, the plant's characteristic seed, which easily adheres to animal fur, enabling it to travel significant distances.

Embrace Something New with BURDOCK ROOT

Burdock, a member of the daisy and sunflower family, showcases an appearance that unmistakably aligns it with the thistle group of plants. Found predominantly along roadways and undisturbed areas, burdock stands out with its appealing and robust characteristics. The "dock" in its name alludes to the plant's large, velvety leaves, utilized either fresh for poultices or harvested and dried to create bitter teas and tonics. Although the entire plant contains antioxidant compounds like quercetin and inulin, the highest concentrations are found in the roots of first-year burdock plants. Dried and powdered burdock root serves as a key ingredient in crafting topical skin formulations, as well as being used in the preparation of teas and tinctures.
