Interestingly, in the herbal alchemy tradition, plants with thorns, spines, and sticky seed heads are seen as characteristic of herbs that help expel toxins from the body. According to Rippe et al. (2008) burdock belongs to the salt principle; these are plants high in minerals such as potassium and magnesium, and are often employed in cases of chronic illness.
Along with other alterative herbs such as yellow dock (Rumex crispus), red clover (Trifolium pratense), or cleavers (Galium aparine), burdock is used to calm skin eruptions such as eczema, dandruff, psoriasis, and other external signs of internal disharmonies. These herbs are often referred to as blood cleansers.
Authors Mills & Bone (2000) suggest alteratives during spring fasts and also to ease joint and connective tissue problems. Alteratives are also often applied by herbalists during the care for patients with cancer, alongside conventional cancer treatments.
Burdock is used as part of a four-ingredient tea that includes goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea), horsetail (Equisetum arvense), and birch (Betula pendula) to support the removal of accumulated waste products in the body, particularly after completing chemotherapy.
Check with your doctor before supplementing with this herb if you use pharmaceutical diuretics. Consult your health care provider before beginning use of any herb.
