Benefits of Greater burdock
A leaf so big that you can hide under it like an umbrella and flowers that you cannot shake off your trousers. The burdock cannot be overlooked in nature, and when you see what benefits it can bring you, you will be glad you did.
Arctium lappa, or greater burdock, is a typical plant of the European and Asian continents. You will come across it when walking in the woods, near water and in thickets. It has red flowers with insistent hooks, a root up to one metre long and large leaves that can be up to 50 centimetres across. Although burdock is an edible plant, the leaves are not meant to be tasted. It is not that they will harm you. It is their bitterness which can spoil the impression of an otherwise delicious herb. The burdock root tastes very good and is pleasantly crunchy. No wonder it is such a popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine.
Burdock is also a rich source of fibre, vitamin B6 magnesium, and potassium. But it is, above all, an important part of folk medicine, whether Chinese or European. Here, the burdock root plays a major role. For example, it is recommended to massage the oil from this part of the plant into the skin to promote hair growth and get rid of dandruff. And a decoction of it will not only relieve you of all sorts of troubles, but it will certainly taste good. Because of its ability to bind toxins, we do not recommend picking burdock in the wild, and even when buying it, you ought to check its origin. Consumption of the infusion is safe except for pregnant women and those taking medication to lower blood sugar levels.
