Organic Burdock root, blood purifier, eczema & psoriasis 100g

Organic Greater Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) 

Organic Greater Burdock Root has been used for centuries across Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern and European herbal medicine as one of the most important herbs for skin health, detox support and lymphatic cleansing. It's known as the 'Blood purifier' and for good reason.  It is naturally mineral-rich, providing potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and a range of trace minerals. Together with its fibre and antioxidant content, this makes burdock root a deeply nourishing tonic herb for energy, skin and overall vitality.

Our burdock root is certified organic and carefully dried from Arctium lappa, the classical medicinal species. It is traditionally used to support the liver, lymphatic system, kidneys, digestion and elimination pathways,  the very systems that influence how the skin looks and feels and is responsible for detoxification.

Burdock root is naturally rich in:

• prebiotic inulin fibre

• polyphenols and flavonoid antioxidants

• tannins and lignans

• soothing mucilage compounds

Skin health: eczema, psoriasis, acne and irritations

Burdock root is considered one of the core herbs for skin support in traditional herbalism.

It is traditionally used to support:

• eczema-prone skin

• psoriasis-prone skin

• acne and congested skin

• recurring rashes or boils

• irritated, reactive or “angry” skin

Rather than working on the surface only, burdock supports internal pathways liver, lymph, kidneys and elimination that can influence flare-ups when they are overloaded.

Its soothing mucilage also explains why strong burdock tea has long been used externally as washes or compresses for irritated skin.

Detox, lymphatic & “internal cleansing” support

Burdock root is a classic blood-purifying herb in traditional systems.

In modern language, this reflects support for:

• toxin-related fatigue or skin aggravations

Burdock root contains fibre and plant compounds that help the body handle environmental pollutants and metabolic wastes, making it a key herb in deep-cleansing protocols.

Joint comfort & inflammatory balance

It also supports the liver and lymphatic system, which process inflammatory by-products. This is why it is traditionally used to support joint comfort, flexibility, and mobility with age.Burdock root has been used to support:

• joint comfort and flexibility

• healthy inflammatory balance

Traditional texts emphasise consistent daily tea over weeks for best effect.

A healthy gut often translates to clearer skin and more stable energy.
