Herbalist Note:
Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) is an absolute staple in my practice, prized for its ability to go deep—both literally, with its impressive taproot, and medicinally, with its Cooling, Bitter, and Sweet energetics. I reach for this when the body needs a thorough, gentle cleanse; it’s a premier alterative that excels at purifying the blood by supporting the liver and kidneys. Beyond detoxification, it's also a powerful nutritive that strengthens the digestive terrain. I often prescribe it for skin issues like acne or eczema, as it works systematically to move those stagnant impurities out of the system and restore clear, healthy function.

Energetics: Cool, Dry
