Burdock: The All-Purpose Alterative

Sweet and grounding, Burdock is an Earthy plant with its wide leaves, deep taproots, and ability to both nourish weakness and cleanse excesses from the body. Just as it loves to grow near waste grounds, Burdock clears metabolic waste products and toxins from the fluids in your body to keep your skin glowing and healthy.

 

Since the health of the skin is merely a reflection of the health of your liver, blood, lymph, and digestion, focusing on topical solutions alone won’t get you very far. By working on each of these organs on a deep level, you can find long-term relief for chronic skin conditions through Burdock. 

 

In today’s plant profile, you’ll discover:

 

• Why I call Burdock the “all-purpose alterative” and how it’s so versatile 

• Burdock’s unique blend of sweet, mineral salt, and slightly bitter tastes which leads to its versatile medicine influence

• How you can use Burdock to improve your skin, whether it’s overly dry or oily 

• Ways Burdock can help you deal with your worries about the unknown
