BURDOCK ROOT
NATURE'S LIVER AND GLAND CLEANSER
"Arctium lappa" - Burdock is a blood purifier, system cleanser that is considered safe for our dogs, our horses and for us. It is used as a liver tonic, for arthritis, to heal the skin internally and externally and to support glandular/lymphatic health. The root is used and is made into a "decoction" by simmering slowly in water in a non-metal pot for a half hour, covered. Or, you can feed the cut and sifted root to horses in their concentrates, one tablespoon every day for 10 to 14 days as a loading dose, one teaspoon per day as maintenance for 28 days. You can give medium size dogs a big pinch of the powder or a capsule daily for 10 days. People take one capsule twice daily for 2 to 4 weeks.
Burdock is one of the roots that animals dig up and eat in the Spring, knowing instinctively that their bodies will benefit from the tonic effect. If you have skin problems, puffiness around glands, have had exposure to pesticides (asparagus should included in this case!) or have been eating poorly, BURDOCK will clean up the systems. The FDA has not approved these statements.
Of course, always consult a holistic health care practitioner in cases of disease or injury. Dharmahorse offers a really nice chart of Herbal Properties: Buy it NOW - click here
