Burdock Root Tincture
Burdock is used to address an extraordinarily wide array of chronic health conditions (listed below) because of its’ profound effect on the health of the liver. When the liver is happy, the rest of the body gets happier, too! Work with Burdock root over time to improve the liver’s ability to detoxify or “take out the trash,” encouraging the body to heal and resolve chronic health conditions which are connected to a sluggish, overburdened liver - such as:
Eczema, psoriasis, other rashy, itchy, inflamed skin conditions and pigmentation issues. (The skin is the second liver and an important elimination pathway which protects your vital organs by offloading toxins. Helping out the liver promotes skin radiance and clarity.)
Poor digestion manifesting in chronic constipation, loose stool, gassiness, abdominal bloating, food sensitivities, malabsorption of nutrients
Allergies (A happy liver is able to efficiently break down histamine.)
Issues of the emotional body - depression, chronic states of anxiety, irritability, reactivity, insomnia, brain fog, chronic fatigue, loss of “zest” for life
Chronic infections/low immunity
Poor wound healing
High cholesterol, high blood pressure, problems regulating blood sugar, varicose and spider veins
Arthritis, rheumatism, joint and muscle pain
Unexplained weight gain/difficulty losing weight
Gallstones

Ingredients: Organically grown and sustainably wild-harvested Burdock (Arctium lappa) roots and vodka (50% alcohol)
Suggested Use: Adults: 10-30 drops by mouth in a little water or juice, 1-3x per day. Children: 5-15 drops (based on body weight) in the same manner, 1-3x per day. You may wish, for young children, to add tincture to hot water or other liquid, in order to evaporate alcohol content yet retain herbal extractives. Serve cooled. Burdock is best worked with over a period of time (a few months to a few years, based on the severity of the condition(s) and observing oneself for changes/improvements.)

Contraindications: None known. **Consult with your physician before using any new herb especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medications.
**Herbs do their best healing work in tandem with a proper diet of whole, nourishing foods, regular enjoyable exercise and avoidance as much as is in one’s power of toxic substances in food products, water, the home and body care products. Hippocrates is quoted as saying: “Before you heal someone, ask him if he's willing to give up the things that make him sick.”
