Burdock Root
Arctium lappa
“Burdock Root has long been considered to have diuretic and diaphoretic actions, to stimulate hepato-biliary function and to be useful, internally or externally, in the treatment of skin diseases. No recent pharmacological work has been reported; early studies have been summarized by Mockle et al. A bacteriostatic action has been attributed to the presence of polyacetylenes.”
