Organic Burdock Root

I couldn't help but single out this herb for a special post after studying Adaptogens today (see my previous post on weight loss and adaptogens).

Burdock was used by the ancient Greeks and throughout the middle ages for healing remedies.

Modern science has been able to isolate the goodness of this herb and answer the 'why' to its popularity.

It is proven to be:

Anti-bacterial

Anti-Fungal

High content of vitamins and minerals

Tumor protective

Desmutagenic

What is Desmutagenic??

It literally translates to "inactivating mutagens" - such as cancer causing agents. These can come from a wide range including herbicides, pesticides, food toxins, environmental toxins, plastics, cleaning chemicals, body products - abounding in our food, water and air.

Because of their abundance, many of them are stored in our fat tissues.

The amazing thing about Burdock is that not only does it deactivate mutagens, but it is of the cleanser category - meaning it actually flushes the toxins out as well. The systems that it focuses on are Liver, Digestive and Immune. Sounds like a powerhouse to me!

Burdock is also in my Lymphatic Blend!!
