The Health Benefits of Burdock and Burdock Root Tea

Research suggests that Burdock has many potential benefits, including antitumor effects (M. Zhang et al., 2021). Burdock has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including cancer, diabetes, and AIDS. The active ingredient in the root is found to "detoxify" blood and promote blood circulation to the skin, improving skin and curing skin diseases. Antioxidants and antidiabetic compounds have been found in the root. Compounds in the seeds have anti-inflammatory and tumor-growth-inhibiting properties. Compounds in the leaf extract can also inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the oral cavity (Chan et al., 2010b).
